Honestly, this question was a common one to run through my mind as I did my field work last semester. I worked with second graders (pretty much like high functioning toddlers) and in more then a few situations, I saw them having more knowledge about smart boards, cellphones, Ipads, and computers than most teachers. Clearly, since these children are growing up in a technological age it's all second nature to them...so what does that mean for us, those who lived in the "VHS movies, only have a land line" age? It means we need to work twice as fast and hard to not only keep up with them, but also to be able to teach them. How so? Classes like Education Technology in which I am currently enrolled.
I know I need to be in this class, well, because frankly, it shouldn't be this tough for me! Here's to a technologically advancing Lindy-Joy!
