Yesterday evening my wife gave birth to our third daughter. This morning I was thinking about our new baby girl and her future. As I thought about her I considered what it might be like for her when she enters school and what methods will be use to teach her. I also wondered what the future will hold for her education and what tools and methods could be used to give her the best quality education possible. There are so many tools that are available right now that can open up a world of knowledge to our students and these tools will only get better. Many of these tools are changing the way we communicate, collaborate, and learn. As teachers, we have the responsibility of staying current on these tools and discovering ways to use them in educational settings.
As teachers we often fill overwhelmed with our schedules, teaching students, and finding the right methods and tools to use to do our jobs effectively. In this Web 2.0 age, the challenge of having a lack of resources and tools is becoming less relevant. The challenge that is becoming more relevant is deciding what tools to use and how to use them in a manner that will improve student learning. This is at least a challenge that I am facing in my early years of teaching.
