Digital Natives

I have many thoughts after watching this video. I attribute the learning gap of teachers to the tech revolution we are currently in. All teachers will not to be able to keep up, but they should try. The need to attend workshops and reach the realization that there is always something new to learn.

As far as I am concerned, I am glad that I use and could incorporate all of the technology mentioned by the students in my classroom. I have been using e-mail, blogging, and texting and consider myself a tech savvy person. Technology does not scare me nor should it. If embraced, tech can help make our jobs and lives easier and more engaging. The key is the have a back up plan. Tech is great but not always reliable.
