Technology is not going to be going away and it can be used a lot better and could make the world smaller and unite people.

In the video of the future classrooms I was fascinated with the projector like computers because it eliminates students going on the wrong cites. Also I think 3D models will help future students be moved involved kinetically activating their brain more then just listening to the lectures and words their teachers say. I would really like to see how technology like that could effect kindergarten classrooms and what positives would come out with 5 year olds playing with air. ]]> 2017-08-23 19:29:19 UTC https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182429842 Thoughts https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182429852 Some things that came to my mind as future educators were all the different technology that is invented now but just too expensive to get into the public schools. I think it would be really nice to have those things although I am a very visual person and like to have stuff in front of me. I think that the technology is a very neat idea because again it is getting farther away from the pen and paper mode and even far away from computers and ipads. It's a lot more convenient for the students to use when it's right there in the classroom and hands on things and even for the teachers also.]]> 2017-08-23 19:29:21 UTC https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182429852 Video 1: I find it interesting that some countries are moving towards online textbooks rather than physical books. They use the excuse that these online textbooks allow students to study anywhere, but I feel that it would actually cause problems with studying, for most online books require internet access, something that is not available everywhere, even here in the 21st Century, also, if the tablet or laptop that the student was using to access their book was to break or have technical issues, the student can't use the text. Having a textbook on a computer also allows for distraction, since students are able to switch over to their social media account from the textbook in just one click. To me, "old-fashioned" textbooks are still the way to go in the 21st century, for every aspect of education doesn't need to be paired with technology. -Bre Dobesh https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182429868

Going forward in the future as that technology becomes less expensive I believe that it will benefit the classroom greatly. It allows students to become more hands on with the activities and the lectures which in my opinion is a good thing.]]> 2017-08-23 19:29:26 UTC https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182429877 Future Classrooms https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182429886 I find our generation so incredibly adaptive and diverse. We have seen the growth from pen and paper to technology and it keeps adapting and growing into something newer and newer as we saw in these videos. It's amazing but also sad in a lost era way. ]]> 2017-08-23 19:29:27 UTC https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182429886 "Future Classroom" https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182429900 The idea of advanced technology in the classroom is interesting. I believe using technology can be beneficial to students learning. It would allow students to use devices while learning rather than be lectured at which may enhance attention span and learning. I can also see the difficulties of having technology though. Older teachers may not want to learn how to use the technology. Also some students may abuse the use of technology. Regardless, it will be definitely be a learning experience for everyone. ]]> 2017-08-23 19:29:30 UTC https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182429900 Warm Up Activity https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182429909 In watching the videos in TE 206, I thought it was amazing how far technology in education has come. Compared to the technology educators have had access to in the past, we have so many new opportunities to help teachers and students to get even further in education. I personally am looking forward to the new technology that will come in the future and the opportunities it will provide for students and teachers. The videos made me excited to learn more about technology through this class.]]> 2017-08-23 19:29:31 UTC https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182429909 21st Century Classroom https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182429915 I think it is great to have all the options of the technology that students have today. It is exciting to think of all the possibilities that can happen with that kind of technology. However, I believe that students are around technology enough at home, so I feel as if having it consistently used at school will cause them to be even more dependent of it. Shouldn't students be able to think without technology?]]> 2017-08-23 19:29:33 UTC https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182429915 https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182429935 I]]> 2017-08-23 19:29:36 UTC https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182429935 Thoughts https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182429942 A future educator must strike a balance between allowing technology to enhance the learning of a student and preventing it from letting it get to the point of having technology try to teach students instead. What I mean by this in probably simpler terms is that technology is a great tool - but not the only tool. 
On a brighter side, I think a future educator in our generation has a lot of potential and creativity regarding our future classrooms. ]]> 2017-08-23 19:29:37 UTC https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182429942 Thoughts https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182429944 I think that the possibilities of learning with technology are endless, and that they can help students really understand the content they are being taught. Using technology is a good way to keep student's interest and it is a good resource in the classroom. Technology in the classroom is a great tool for both students and teachers in today's learning environment. ]]> 2017-08-23 19:29:37 UTC https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182429944 I think that it is cool to have all of the different kinds of technology. I also think that it is scary though too. Kids have gotten in a lot of trouble with all of the technology that we already have. If we keep giving students access to more technology than they need. https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182429980 2017-08-23 19:29:44 UTC https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182429980 I like technology, but it is almost scary. I think if it gets too far people and students will start to loose value of communication face to face. It is great for saving paper, and economical uses, but there should probably be a limit to how much should be done through technology. I would never want to see the day where kids did not even know how to write cursive or use paper and pencil. Technology has come so far in a very short amount of time and that's pretty incredible for teachers, doctors and more. I am excited to see how we can keep using technology to benefit students, but I also hope we never have to forget how to do the simple things. https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182430003 2017-08-23 19:29:47 UTC https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182430003 video https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182430004 I think that those videos were interesting to see all of the different concepts on how things happen from across the globe. Really makes you go deeper into thought about what could change and what overall could improve.

]]> 2017-08-23 19:29:48 UTC https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182430004 Thoughts on videos https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182430009 I think that it is kinda intimidating all the technology that is going to be in classrooms in years to come. I believe that there could be good things that come from it but I mostly think about all the good things that will be lost if we switch over to the technology. What would happen to face to face communication, what would happen to the kid to teacher learning stuff. Would we have to opportunity to teach the children the way we want to, or would it always have to involve technology. ]]> 2017-08-23 19:29:48 UTC https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182430009 Thoughts https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182430022 While watching the videos, I just kept thinking about how hard teachers have it and do not get enough praise. Teachers teach kids to read, do math, do all these different things, but are somehow not appreciated enough. Teachers do not get paid enough for all the work they do. As a future teacher, I do worry about people not taking my job as important as theirs. I also kept thinking to myself how hard it must be to be a teacher and have to keep up with all the new technology. As a young adult I have trouble keeping up with it, so I can not imagine someone who has been in the teaching field for many years.

]]> 2017-08-23 19:29:50 UTC https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182430022 I think it is interesting that technology has expanded so much in education. While there could be some negatives I believe that it is mostly a positive and it can help teachers as well as students get to the next level of learning and education! https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182430031 2017-08-23 19:29:53 UTC https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182430031 technology https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182430064 I think the advancements in technology are crazy. I almost don't like it. I think it is taking teachers away from what we are getting paid to do...teach. It is really cool but I think It is a distraction and A little unnecessary to have in the classroom.

]]> 2017-08-23 19:30:03 UTC https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182430064 Aug 23 https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182430092 The videos were really interesting and hard to wrap my mind around. I don't know if I would like all that technology because as a teacher I would feel insignificant but at the same time it would be really cool to use in the classroom as well. I have mixed feelings over the technology aspect. ]]> 2017-08-23 19:30:09 UTC https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182430092 Future Classroom https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182430096 The video about the future classroom was very interesting to me. I believe that installing technology like that in the classroom will be a big challenge for present educators. I think one of the biggest problems facing the education department today is admin/educators unwillingness to explore different ways to instruct their students. Having a system of technology like that in schools would be a big change, and not just for the students. I also don't know how beneficial it would actually be to bring all that technology to the classroom. During high school and into college I've learned how all students are different, and not all of them learn in the same way (some are visual, some are audio, some are kinesthetic etc). So my biggest question for "The Future Classroom" is if it will benefit only one type of learner, or find a way to benefit all of them.]]> 2017-08-23 19:30:10 UTC https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182430096 Thoughts https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182430116 The last video we watched, I think it would be amazing to have access to that kind of technology. It would take some time to get to know how to use it correctly. Technology is getting more and more advanced everyday. The possibilities are endless for technology. ]]> 2017-08-23 19:30:14 UTC https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182430116 Thoughts https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182430157 I think that it is really cool to see what our future education could look like. I feel like it may be hard for some teachers to adapt to the advanced technology and use it at its full potential. The kind of technology would be a lot more helpful in the upper classes but using it with younger age groups would be more difficult.]]> 2017-08-23 19:30:26 UTC https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182430157 https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182430166 I thought it was interesting that education systems around the world are incorporating technology in a way that's beneficial and easy to learn to every kind of learner. ]]> 2017-08-23 19:30:28 UTC https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182430166 I think the videos were very interesting. I hope someday i can be apart of a classroom with that kind of technology, I think it would motivate students to work harder. Learning might be easier for some students that are visual learners with this type of technology because of the pop up pictures and the interacting with the teacher. I think technology can change the way students learn. https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182430227

Though very enticing and probably entertaining for today's youth, I feel as though this could become very distracting and even destructive to the learning environment. I think that we should certainly integrate technology into the classrooms and fill the minds of our students with what the rest of the world is relying on, but I fear the possible outcomes of what it could mean for our future students. ]]> 2017-08-23 19:30:50 UTC https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182430234 Thoughts https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182430461 I think that using technology in the classroom is very important. It allows students to access more knowledge and expand what they already know. Technology is a huge part of today's society and there is no running from it, so why not use it in a positive way. ]]> 2017-08-23 19:31:41 UTC https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182430461 https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182430532 I think all this technology will be very great to have. We just need to use it for the right reasons, and I believe that we will. I'm really curious to see how long it will be until it actually is in the classrooms. I hope I get to witness it someday]]> 2017-08-23 19:31:57 UTC https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182430532 video https://padlet.com/gaskillm/sar9qqbmoz1o/wish/182430874 I think that those videos were interesting to see all of the different concepts on how things happen from across the globe.
