Teaching is this century is a lot different than teaching was when we were in elementary school. In today's day and age the majority of everything is done using technology. It seems like these days we can't get into a car or go to the store without using some form or another of technology. I mean don't get me wrong, I love technology. I spend time on the computer and on my cell phone with the best of them. This seems to be even more so true with children these days. Everything with them revolves around the TV, cell phones, or computers. I found a great video that talks about K-12 students today.
A Vision of K-12 Students Today
This video really helped me to see students today. Learners these days are visual learners. The majority of what they learn, they learn through the different forms of technology. We as teachers need to find whatever means we can to teach our students in order to engage them and as much as we may not like it, the best way is probably going to be with technology. What would you do in your classroom if you did not have technology to use? Would you still be able to engage your students?
