Teacher of the Future

There is no doubt that the role of technology in the educational system is becoming more present almost on a daily basis. I have already found myself adjusting the way I teach in the short two years I have been doing so. The smart board has really helped students soar into places I never imagined. Teachers will continue to evolve along with everything else. Personally, I look forward to the new and innovative ways in which I can integrate technology into my class room. Teachers roles will need to adjust with the methods in which they teach. It will be a gradual transition as older generations retire and younger teachers are hired. With each new wave of teachers that enter the field so do new ways of doing things. Integration of technology doesn’t mean the role of the teacher is any less important. It just means the way in which everything is taught may change. Technology will never be able to replace the connection a teacher and student can have. Teaching is more than just passing information along. It’s about true connection and understanding of each student as an individual. Nothing will be able to replace, or remove the need for such connection!
