This last week we our class enjoyed a presentation from Dean Shareski.(@shareski) In the presentation we talked about how learning and teachering are different in 2014, and what it means for our schools.
There are so many things that we can do using technology in the classrooms, but there are also challenges that we foresee as a class, one of the main challenges is the fact that once we actually get a teaching job, there may not be the resources available for us to use all of the technology we have learned about. There is also some resistance by some teachers to accept that technology is something that we need to adopt. I can understand that if you are unfamiliar with this new literacy you will feel resistance, however I feel that we need to accept the importance of digital literacy in our society and becoming technologically literate is important as teachers. I also feel that we are responsible to provide a new literacy education for our students to prepare them for success. It is also a way for us to promote student engagement in our classrooms.
