Thing2

The internet has morphed from another way of referencing material to an interactive medium that allows people to communicate and collaborate on projects with others from around the world. Traditional classrooms and paper/pencil/textbook are no longer relevant to learners of today, and they see no value in working in isolation using outdated materials. Technology is moving so fast that students will live in a world that didn't exist for their parents. As educators, we must change our mindsets and gain a proficiency in technology that can be challenging and move us way outside of our comfort zone. Only then can we truly empower our students to become learners in the 21st century.
