After watching the presentation of Did You Know ? I was completely thrown for a loop hole .. I must say that it is pretty amazing to see how all these countries have become so knowledgeable but yet kinda sad to see how far behind we as a country are. Technology is growing at a very fast rate but it seems we are allowing everyone to get ahead of us... Since we are living in a new era, we see that almost everyone relies on some kind of technology just to make it through the day or be able to complete everyday tasks. I agree with the views of the video, as educators old and new we need to be aware of all of these new technologies in order to prepare us as well as students to succeed in the future. In the video it states we have the opportunity as individuals to put the world in every child's hand, and personally I think that is every educators goal.
