Chapter 4 Summary
Technology in the Classroom
The Summary of Chapter 4
The challenge had changed. The digital world is able to change much more quickly than the curriculum that teachers have available to them. Curriculum updates happen on average every 5 to 7 years and teachers are usually getting about one update in curriculum per area content. This means that teachers often are not using technology and the new curriculum areas because they're still trying to get used to what that means to teach to those new standards.
They have to be completely flexible because the schools can have a variety of digital tools available depending on where you work. And this means that you may have one to one devices or you may only have one computer for the teacher to use. It's just very greatly. So my thoughts are that teachers just have to console these flexible, less than plan and not be afraid to take on technology and to teach students skills to build upon over the years with them.
