Implications and Teaching Opportunities for Camera Use in Teaching and Learning

Part A

Technology has become essential to learning in todays modern world. Education is changing as a whole because of the use of technology. The classrooms today are completely different than they were when we were in grade school. Technology is an important part of todays society. Jobs require computer knowledge and some even further than just computers. Teaching in the 21st century constantly changes with the demands on technology in our lives. Our goal is to prepare our students to be able to do the things needed in todays world, and prepare them for jobs in their future.

According to Zobgy Analytics, I am one of those people that my cell phone does not leave my side. Many others fall into my habits as well. It is important to teach your students how to use them properly. It is no longer a problem to have tablets and cell phones in today's classrooms. It is a key factor in keeping students engaged in their learning. If they are engaged, they will learn more than they could ever dream. They question things, they broaden their horizons on those topics, which in turn makes them better learners. Bottom line is, technology is a part of our lives. We can not escape how it is constantly changing our lives for the better.
