1. Technology & Its Impact on Schools… If I break it, do I pay for it? Because I just can’t afford to replace equipment on the salary you pay me! :) Nah, just joshin’! But seriously, how many teachers feel comfortable w/ technology and the use of its equipment? It is understandable that the younger generations replacing the retirees would be more well-versed on technology. Still, how tech-savey is the young generation? Are we as teachers prepared to instruct in the 21st century? Should more technological course emphasis be placed on undergraduate degree requirements? Should the federal and state governments update teacher requirements to include annual or bi-annual mandatory courses/clinics/certification hours of such? (Txtbk. Chpt. 7)
2. “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent; it is the one that is most adaptable to change.” -Charles Darwin, English Naturalist (Txtbk. p. 221, Chpt. 7)
3. The impact of technology on learning depends more on the ways in which teachers use the technology than on the characteristics of the technology itself. (Txtbk. p. 220, Chpt. 7)
