Week 5: When I Become a Teacher

In 2 minutes and 22 seconds this video strongly encourages teachers and soon-to-be teachers to "not fear technology, but to embrace it." Technology is rapidly growing but somehow has managed to sluggishly enter the classroom. I think it is very important for teachers to keep up with new technology. Technology in the classroom provides so much more opportunities for students. Not only is it more engaging but it instantly provides so much information for the students to access. The video allows classic teaching ideals, such as providing a safe environment for students, to be connected to new ideas such as of providing a safe environment for students on the web. It's important that teachers don't forget that learning never ends, even for them and I think that this video portrays that by encouraging teachers to use more technology in the classroom.
