I agree with Tuggen, that while in a utopia, students will get to choose what they learn. However, as we all are aware, we all need to learn things that we may not be fond of. While I am not a huge fan of writing, it is a skill that I need in any job path I choose, and I will need to learn it. The same goes for our students. It is our job to guide them into their career paths, but to equip them with the necessary skills to be successful, showing them the relevance of what they learn with what they want to do in life.

Technology is growing very fast. Since 1991, when Internet was developed and open to public, It became an ultimate open source and it is everywhere in our professional and personal lives. With internet and devices that allow us to be online anytime anywhere, life is becoming easier everyday. There are arguments on how technology and internet affecting social life, but use of the instant access to information and instant communication between is what leads the idea of using and designing technology. I find technology and pretty useful for students and instructors. It allows us to teach and learn in different methods individually.

Even though I am "merely" a library media specialist in one of the largest school districts in the Midwest, I am interested in how teacher leaders like myself can affect the decision-making of administrators.  I have been very fortunate to work with principals and district leaders who realize the importance of my role with students.  They have taken time and effort to train me.  And they frequently ask me for feedback and to help pilot certain initiatives.  However, I still believe that there should be work done to standardize this decision-making process, specifically in terms of technology purchasing that is made.  Frequently, administrators don't see the whole picture or all factors relating to technology roll-out.  And I am incredibly interested in learning how I can leverage my role as a teacher-leader to help decision-makers in my district.

When working as a library assistant in Evanston, IL, I often worked with classroom teachers to partner on lessons. The district our library partnered with was one-to-one (middle school with iPads, high school with chromebooks). Though this seemed like it would solve the issue of connecting students with technology, little thought was given to teaching students how best to utilize the technology given to them--or instruct teachers how to integrate them into the curriculum. And many students didn't have access to internet at home, rendering their devices unusable for homework (which was the intent for the high school). Access and digital literacy were the district's largest problems. It's smart to prepare students for skills they will need in an increasingly tech-reliant world but the infrastructure needs to be in place for this to happen.

Today I asked siri for assistance, charged my fitbit, and watched kids access the science lesson (flipped classroom) on their chrome books. My digital media kids also took video via a drone (which I believe is one of the next big technology waves). I'd seen this TED talk before - and the bare bones of it, to me, is that we need to do more for more kids with less money to make the technological playing field even. -- But one of the biggest issue isn't just $$ - it's preparing the current generation of teachers to be technologically savvy.

I find that the list of ten are interesting. I either use or have used many of these as an English teacher & track coach. In science, I would like to add 3D printing.
The TED talk wants us to change our thinking to change our solution. Teaching has gone from "sit and git" to student-centric learning in the last 20 years. To have a student-centric classroom, technological devices are necessary. Some of our schools do not have 1:1 student:computer ratio. It is still possible because not every student is on a computer 100% of the time. So communication among teachers are vital.
My only issue with his talk is that he said, that students will "Learn what they want to learn". Sometimes, students have to learn things they don't want to learn, but that is when teacher becomes more of a motivational coach.
