The Connected Classroom – youtube.com

 

WOW… Is what came to mind after watching this video for myself. I was flicking through other fellow blogger’s postings and came across this very interesting video on Victoria’s Page. The video has been put together exceptionally well as it grips the viewer from start to finish with the use of selected accommodating sounds and pictures. The author of the video is basically showing us how teaching has changed over the years and throughout history. What hit me the most was the author adding dramatically,

 

“As teachers we will be preparing students for a technological world which is rapidly changing. We are preparing students for jobs that don’t yet exist, using technologies that have not yet been developed.”

 

Overall this video has really inspired me and I hope it does get other people thinking and inspired as well. What I also discovered was that I really need to incorporate technology into my teaching, not just because we are obligated to as teachers in the primary sector but for the reason that it is vitally important to the future and success of our students. I do however sometimes feel a slight chill at the thought of whether or not I’m technically capable of doing so but I know that I will strive to keeping myself updated in new developments and new technological advancements which can be used to create a perfect learning environment for my all my students.
