"It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity".

-Albert Einstein 

I believe what Albert said was definitely true, we have come so far with our technology that it's crazy to look back where we used to be even 25 years ago. With this being said, we were asked to think about our own philosophies on Technology and Education, and this is what I have come up with. -

"I don’t fear where we are headed in education with technology. We have to be willing to understand that this next generation of student’s are going to require us as  teacher’s to be sold out on the advances and the adaptations of technology.

 We are a pivotal time where the older ideals mixed with newer ones and honestly this gives us the chance to take our students no matter what the educational level no matter what the subject is, to a whole other level of an education.

 Imagine instead of just reading about a certain animal in science class, looking up on your smart board or whatever new device will come out in the next tomorrow a video that gives a live feed of the animal in their natural habitat, or instead of using the rigid times tables that slowly bend minds into their memorization, individualizing multiplication games that go as far as peaking there interest as any other PC game, while at the same time their learning comes not from force rather than a spark of desire to WANT to learn. 

Technology will never take the place of good old fashion teaching, yet at the same time good old fashion teaching will never survive unless it adapts itself into new techniques, and this adaptation comes from these new techniques that allow us to make our work not only easier but also more efficient. Although I struggle with technology, but I want to be better, because I know that technology if used appropriately can be a tool that can reach children on any kind of level, and I want to be able to use these tools to reach these students.  I firmly believe in technology as much as I believe in the phrase,” Work Smarter Not Harder”.
