New Technology

In the blog post titled, “Good Teaching can be Enhanced with New Technology,” by Brian Crosby, Brian posts a quote that tells us that new technology in schools helps us obtain more knowledge and it makes teachers better at teaching. It explains that all schools should have updated technology or more enhanced technology to help us as students and teachers to learn and teach more thoroughly.

This blog post made me ask the question, “How does new technology enhance our knowledge?” I believe new technology enhances our learning because it has better techniques that are more up to date techniques that we as students can actually learn and use everyday. The new technology can help us in a lot more ways that the old technology couldn’t. Everyday we use strategies that help us do our homework and do a greater job in school. The new technology can help us enhance those strategies so that we can do an even better job at school. In class this year we are doing PLN responses. This is an example of how technology can enhance our learning. Our PLN responses help us become better writers and great thinkers through the use of new technology. This technology is available all over the world and I believe that everyone should use this technology to their advantage. Whether it’s using it to better writing skills or to obtain valuable information, the new technology shouldn’t be wasted. Everyone should obtain and use this helpful new technology. This also brought up the question, “Does the new technology give us new opportunities?” Yes, this new technology prepares us for the future and opens our lives to new opportunities. These opportunities could be jobs that we might want to do the rest of our lives. The new technology could help us obtain the job we always wanted and it could better our opportunities to obtain higher paying jobs. All this technology could better enhance our lives and our futures and that is why we all should not let this new technology go to waste!
