Future Technology
I just read an article about how today we are educating students for jobs and technologies that haven't even been invented yet! and that today on average technology is advancing every 2-3 years which means that for a student s in a technology school what they learned in their first or second year of college will be outdated by the time they graduate. These things absolutely blow my mind!!! How is it that we as educators are supposed to prepare students for careers that haven't been invented? I don't have the answer to this question, but i think that the more technology that we use in the classroom the more students will benefit in the future.

Geez that is crazy to think that what we are learning right now will be old news in 2 yrs or by the time that we even get into our own classrooms. It almost goes to show schoolboard need to make sure that teachers are staying on top of our ever changing technology. I think a good idea would be for schools to send their teachers on a yearly basis to technology conferences that show and introduce new technologies to teachers.
