I thought that the article, Social Justice: Choice or Necessity? By Colleen Swain and David Edyburn was really interesting. I was amazed to know that within two decades more than 80% of the jobs will required some kind of technology knowledge. So, teachers and future teachers must have to incorporate the usage of technology in their classroom to prepared students for the outside world of technology and its advances.
In order for us to teach and introduce new ways of technology we have to have access to a computer in classrooms. Without enough or any computers teachers can not teach or introduce a new skill about technology. So, if we have computers in our classrooms they are very beneficial because we can teach students the new technology of the world.
We teachers and future teachers should locate and search for instructional resources that will support what we are teaching about technology.
Would long time teachers be replaced in district schools since some of them do not know that much about technology?
I think that it is a good thing that we teachers will be or are incorporating technology in our classrooms, since there will be more jobs open in the future that will consist of technology skills. At the same time, I would not like to see some teachers be replaced from their long time position because they do not know enough about technology. For example, my sister’s teacher who is an elderly does not know anything about technology. She does not know how to use PowerPoint properly.
How would we know if students are learning or understanding what we are presenting them?
The article mentions that we should keep a journal with comments for each child and for lesson plans. Which I think is a good idea because it will helps us focus and concentrate more on our students and see if they are progressing.
