My plate tectonics lesson plan demonstrates my learning from this course because it takes advantage of the video game culture present in today’s students and uses it to teach. This course has introduced or further explained many different technologies that today’s students will more than likely be using in tomorrow’s workplace.
Adjustments for new and emerging technologies are fairly easy for me at the moment since I’m still in my 20s. However, as natural as it is for me now to use most of the same technologies that my students use, the future could be quite different. Unless I am committed to learning each new emergent technology as it arrives, I could easily find myself outdated and out of touch. In an effort to avoid this I will continue to push for more technology in my classroom and search for grant money to procure technology for my students. The digital divide is growing wider, not shrinking with time.
