Neither did I.

This video reminded me how fast technology is advancing. It is really hard to keep up with new gadgets and everything else that technology has to offer. It is a new way of living and we all need to adapt. As an educator I must figure out ways to bring in all this new technology into the classroom and use it in a way that will benefit students. As the video says we must " prepare kids for jobs that don't exist using technologies that haven't been invented in order to solve problems we don't even know are problems yet". But in order to educate others I must first educate myself. Therefore I must learn more and keep updated as much possible, and this video has showed me that I have a lot to research and learn.
