Embracing Technology

This image represents how teachers should approach technology. It also demonstrates the kind of attitude teachers should have towards technology; friendly, open-minded and willing to connect.

Teachers need to embrace the modern world and embrace all the different aspects of technology. By doing this, teachers are able to connect on a deeper and more meaningful level with their engaged students.

This image reflects what I have learnt and am currently learning about EdTech. I am learning to embrace new technologies that are constantly being introduced and how to use them in my future classroom. Although sometimes challenging, incorporating technology in your classroom is very beneficial for students. In five years, I hope that I am in a classroom that has access to technology that I can utilise to my full potential.
