Quote- "The way we are educating is based on nineteenth-century ideas and methods. Here we are, entering the twenty-first century, and you look at our schools and ask, 'Why are we doing things in this ancient way?' Our system of education is locked in a time capsule. You want to say to the people in charge, 'You're not using today's tools! Wake up!'"
Response- Before this class, I had given little thought to ways I might include new forms of technology in my classroom. I grew up lugging heavy textbooks around in my backpack, taking notes with my pencil and paper while the teacher lectured, and filling in the bubbles on a multiple-choice test. But like this quote points out, those medieval methods are becoming a thing of the past. I'm very glad I took this class, because it has opened my eyes to so many new forms of teaching and learning using modern technology. I'm excited to see what will be out there for me to use in my classroom when I become a teacher!
