My beliefs

My beliefs as a person in society and as a future teacher are that technology and keeping up to date are extremely important. I don't mean that you always have the newest nicer tools, but I do believe that for the most part you need to understand how to work most of the newer day tools and keep in mind that soon the new tools will become old news. Technology wont stop and if we as humans get stuck on something we may fall behind in our skills and fall behind with society. As a teacher I believe that I need to do my best to keep technology in the classroom by incoporating it in with all of my curriculum. If I can manage to have them know basics at first then pretty soon they will be whizzing right past me and teaching me. If I were to keep everything paper and pencil and hardcopy admissions then I feel as though my students will be missing out on opportunities to grow and learn how to be productful in the world of technology. I know this idea may scare some teachers, but I know I would hate to be clueless about the tools we use and so I don't want my students to fall behind either.
