Tech+Integration

I think that I've learned something very valuable through this assignment. It's a concept that's becoming more and more clear to me as I progress through the program. It feels as though the integration of technology with the classroom isn't simply a concept, but a necessary evolution of the teaching profession. If we want to connect with children enough to teach them, we have to be willing to recognize their point of view enough to maintain that connection. We, as teachers, must be willing to learn and evolve, if only to keep pace with their naïve charge to adulthood and help them out along the way. I can see the profession progressing, and it's really cool.

 I knew that high school had changed a bit since my own experiences at Middletown High School South, in Middletown, New Jersey at the turn of the century, but since when did they start teaching kids how to monitor brainwaves? It feels as though, after watching [|Merging Video Games into a Winning Science Project], I missed out on how fun high school could be. The more I watch technology integrate with society, the more I feel I'm playing the part of a character in a science fiction novel. I think the integration of technology into the classroom is a marvelous new concept, as it pushes forward the evolution of new concepts for the next generation to explore, much like the Dea Flores did when she divined the concept of her science project. It's brilliant stuff. I'm excited to be a part of it.
