Resisting Technology Is Soooo 20th Century

If you believe that technology is a distraction and not a way to enhance educational practices, you're probably not using it correctly.

• Why do we have to talk about technology so much?
• I'm too busy to use it. 
• Isn't Twitter for Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift? 
• Can't we just disconnect and move past this technology driven focus in education?
• Kids are so disconnected from school. All they care about is playing games on their computers.

 

There seems to be an issue with technology as well as social networking. There are those educators who are considered "connected" whom use it flawlessly every day. They weave it into their instruction and how they communicate with parents. No matter how busy they may be it has become an extension of their arm and they use it naturally in everything they do.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource

Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and

other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching

practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
