Necessary or Inconvenient Obligation

 It seems no matter how much i have already achieved in learning about technologies in the classroom, I am still afraid of technologies I do not know of. I am still reluctant to explore ways of integrating technology into the classroom, not because I don’t see the value of it, because in theory I do see how useful and valuable technology is. I think that it is more so because I hadn’t placed the necessity of it. My attitude has often been that if I didn’t have all that much access to technology and I still achieved great results in high school, if I have gotten into the educational degree I wanted to then maybe these new technologies are helpful but not Necessary!!! After watching this teacher tube however, I have begun to shift that attitude. As teachers we will be preparing students for a technological world which is rapidly changing. We are preparing students for Jobs that don’t yet exist using technologies that have not yet been developed. I need to re-evaluate my attitude towards technology, maybe you do to. Maybe we need to see the use of technology as not just another subject we are obligated to teach, but a subject that is fundamental to the future success of our students. Watch this teachertube, i hope that you will be inspired and challenged.
