The Study of Maps The Study of Our Digital World

That learning can happen anytime, anywhere and that students can have equal access and put all learners on the same playing field. What is your best hope of what technology can add to improve teaching and learning? Students will be able to take learning into their own hands and become more proactive. For kids to come into a classroom, learn at their own rate and to care about learning would be the greatest thing. That there will someday be a way to police the internet and keep our kids safe from all its evils.

My biggest fear is that technology will move so quickly that I will be unable to keep up with my students' knowledge base. What is your worst fear about a loss of what you currently value in teaching and learning because of emerging technologies? Increase in childhood obesity and loss of human interaction. Reliability of the equipment and the lack of immediate tech support to fix problems in the middle of technology lessons. Otherwise known as “LOOSING THE WATCH.”
