I can see where the next generation is heading as far as technology is concerned. I grew up without owning a computer. I didn't take my first keyboard class until 9th grade--using a TYPEWRITER!! I used a typewrite all through high school and when I graduated I got a job at DHI in Provo and I learned how to use word perfect. It was AWESOME!!!
I've seen a change in technology even since my oldest son was born. We bought him a few CD's so that he could play games on the computer. Now, our children can download anything off the internet. My youngest son has no fear when it comes to computers. He is in first grade and I still remember when he came home from school a few months ago to show me that he could copy and paste pictures of flamingos. He had just learned it that day in computers.
I know that technology is a must and I'm willing to put in the effort. I think web quests are so much fun to use in the classroom. I believe that classroom websites are a must and I LOVE digital stories. I loved putting it together.
My belief is this--We have been blessed to live in a world where anything is possible. I think we need to look at advancements as exciting and get on board and stay on board so that our future students aren't BORED. HA HA. WOW!! It must be late. :)
