Importance of Technology

I think that technology in the classroom is a very important aspect that all teachers should incorporate while teaching.  Children today learn in a very different way than most educators are used to, simply because of the rapid advancements in technology.  Students can highly benefit from using new technology because it's a great way to grab and keep the attention of students.  Although, some teachers may find it difficult to adjust with the times or learn new things, but most of the technology is really easy to learn if you play around with it enough.  The first decade of the 21st century has proven to have a very large impact on how we view technology as a whole, as well as how people are learning.  It is very crucial for us as future educators to get on board and ride this new technology train, otherwise students will be teaching the teachers in the near future.
