It only seems logical that we should include the tools with which they are familiar in the classroom. However, we should remember that it is only a tool making it our responsibility as teachers to shift our focus from teaching the technology to teaching the responsibility and effective uses of it. The fact is that technology is an everyday part of our 21st century lives. It is vital that we, as educators, embrace technology with open arms. We are responsible for seeing that our students become confident and are prepared for their futures.
Technology needs to be integrated into all classrooms with a focus on exploring possibilities.
Far away worlds can come alive with the Internet. Technology can't be avoided, it must be one of our primary focuses.
