EDUC 7108 Module 6 Blog

As a leader in educational technology I can stress the ideas of new and improved technologies to others by explaining how these technologies can be beneficial to them. People need to know how valuable these things are to them. Thornburg states, “Valuable means understanding a culture well enough to help people incorporate new ideas into that culture” (Laureate Education, 2009). Using technology in the classroom, keeps the students interested and motivated to learn. I can also stress how important it can be to all different levels of learning because technology can cater to different learning styles and basically all aspects of life. Everyone needs to understand and be able to become productive members of society this includes having those 21sy century skills. We are a computer generated society and there is no way of avoiding that. The idea is to keep abreast to changing times, Inventors of today know this, that’s why there are various things being created every day.
