Master Trainer 11 years - elementary and jr. Now it's routine for students to tap into resources that aren't found within the confines of our school library. It's exciting to be able to offer students information that is as current as today's news and to help them discern if the source of that information is reliable. Education must parallel the workplace in ways of doing business and conducting research. We must prepare our students to have the technological skills needed to be competitive in the job market by modeling those skills in our everyday teaching.
Technology provides a different tool by which students can learn.
It offers a medium for students that otherwise may not be reached, and it provides an evaluation tool different from those that are considered traditional. Technology has become such an important part of all our lives. Our job as educators is to prepare our students to be life-long learners. In today's fast moving environment the ability to interact with technology in all aspects of our life is vital to achieving success. Technology gives me another, very effective, way to connect with my students and their parents.
