Moving through EDLD courses I feel myself being pulled towards the then of teaching. The waaaaay back then when I first started…5 years ago! Integrating technology into my classroom seems so modern NOW. My students are utilizing chromebooks every single day for assignments and learning extensions. Thinking back to my first year of teaching I feel slightly nauseous to think about having to add anything else to my plate THEN. Logging on daily doesn’t feel brand new. It feels normal, expected and easy NOW. Weird how much can change in 5 short years. Willingness to accept change is a struggle most people resonate with. Will the change be for the good of the students or the benefit of teachers? Is it a change that will be around for extended amount of time? I know using technology THEN would not have been what I’m capable of NOW.
