End of Semester Thoughts
What is a 21st century learner? What is a 21st century educator? I think about these things as a technology teacher, given the opportunity to use and analyze new technologies. I just ordered a 3D printer for one school, will be ordering new LEGO Mindstormers robots, and just received in the mail today a 3D printing pen! These weren't even on the radar when I was in school yet they find themselves being infused into everyday curriculums. I salivate at the idea of using these technologies in a classroom, but with this project I found myself seething at those teachers unwilling to adapt. Those teachers certainly present a challenge to someone like me who still want to try and help them see the benefits of integrating technology into their lessons.
