Did You Know?

21 century skills and technologies need to be better understood, appreciated and infused in the plannings for the learning of students. Its very important to understand why infusing technology in a classroom is so important. Students are becoming more and more dependent on technology to find out the latest news and its a major why to communicate with others and find out interesting facts about the world or a topic. I can relate to this because i am a student and I use e-mail to communicate with friends and family and spend most of my time on the computer either researching information on a specific topic for homework, listening to music, watching a video and viewing/ editing some of my pages like facebook and on my blog. I strongly think that it is very important to have students work more with the different technologies so that they can be better prepared for the future. More and more jods require computer skills and or the use of other technology's so the more we use them and learn about them the better we will be off in the future with a job or as a teacher as I plan on being. I plan on introducing the use of technology in my classroom so i can better prepare my students. I also strongly think that teachers should infuse more technologies in their classroom for their students and they themselves should also become more familiar with technology. There are so many statistics that will blow your mind after you watch the video to the right called, "Did You Know 3.0," which gives you some amazing statistics of the 21st century and what we can expect in life and future which refers to the use of technology a lot and also compares it with past statistics. To learn more about this video and other interesting questions/ facts to ask yourself after watching this video click on, "shifthappens." Life is changing and we the people need to change and how we perceive technology especially for teachers to better prepare their students for the 21 century.
