Final Assignment

My Technology trend paper is going to focus on the overall impact technology has had on education.  The future of technology depends on teachers.  If teachers do not learn how to use the new technology, the students will never learn how to use the technology correctly.  After all that is what we have been doing in this class.  I am glad that I have been introduced to some of these new things.  I look forward to trying to incorporate these ideas into the classroom setting.  I think Media Specialists can lead the way with starting to teach students about some of the newer technology.  We may have a little more time to play with the technology than classroom teachers.  The strain that classroom teachers have to get students to pass state mandated testing takes priority for them.  If I can show teachers that some new technology might help students to pass these tests, I think teachers will jump on board.
