Technology is always changing. The students learn and tend to catch on quicker than adults. Today the kids have tablets, phones, smart boards and other tools they use. Many people will argue that today's technology is effecting students education in a way because they are so distracted with social media. This will impact me as a teacher because every year technology advances. I will have to learn how to keep up with all of the new devices. Also it will be a struggle to keep my kids focused and interested with the new devices we will have. I know for example when I had a professor who was not dry good with technology it would be frustrating when they couldn't get it working and wasted our class time. I hope to be aware and up to date with tomorrows technology and not waste my students time.

As a teacher I will have to use technology weather I like it or not. Today most classrooms have online books and tablets. Because of this its changing the was some students learn. For example when taking notes if I fall behind but have my tablet with me and the uploaded power point I can leave space and fill in the material or just follow along. One thing the text book mentioned was connecting with students. I hope that I can help and better my future classroom by emailing or texting my students whenever they need me.

Building my digital identity as a teacher will impact me because I can learn and connect with a lot more people. You can always learn something from others or find new ideas to try. reading through the textbook honestly I have never heard many of the tech tools they use. I hope to better my teaching by learning more and being able to widen my students options for learning from others.

The future of educational technology
