Technology in Education

It's been awhile since being associated with a school and how their curriculum works and the technology that's evolved the way we teach. After doing some research from last class to this class its become more and more eye opening to me how drastic our schools have changed since I walked the halls of Andrew High School from 05-09. Never did I begin to think that technology as it is now would be so involved with our students and incorporating education. After reading through an article on how our tech gadgets have increased productivity and created more hands on involvement with understanding material I'm glad to have come across the topic.

Speaking for myself I can definitely say if I had what our schools have now, I would've gained a far better understanding on topics discussed in class. I was a lost cause and had absolutely no interest in learning whatever the teacher had to say! There were few who made class interesting and gained my interest, but with the technology introduced today and allowing you to do things such as screencast, use virtual exit slips and educational software's such as Nearpod......all of these would've definitely helped myself as a student. What a time to be alive as a kid!!
