Because 21st century learners are so different from learners in the past every effort must be made to apply the benefits of technology to their classrooms. Several aspects can make this a challenging idea.
First, educators must adapt to the changes in technology and the changes in our students. This change require a commitment in time, finances and personal beliefs to promote a technology-based classroom.
Second, students must begin to take a larger role in ownership of their education. They can know longer simply rely on information given to them. They must decide what information is accurate now that technology can provide us with so much access to differing sets of opinions, fact and findings.
Also, there will also be the difficulty in balancing each district and student needs to match the available funds for implenting technology and the emphasis placed on education in various communities.
This course can give me an awareness as to the critical nature of the role technology is playing now and the even bigger role it will play in the education of students in the 21st century.
I can beign to point to the research discovered through this course to further point to the need to make a commitment to the stregthening of my instruction through technology integration.
