“Reflect upon the need to be constantly updating and perfecting the technology integration craft. Be sure to include enduring understandings gained from this course. Use specific examples to illustrate. Compare and contrast your response to those of your classmates. This is a reflection and connections should be made from your past 10 weeks of learning.”
As stated in 1-3 Short Paper Defending Technology Integration, the future of society cannot be considered without technology. Not to mention keeping up with its changes. Since the first generation of technology, has systematically permeated society in countless ways. The ever apparent use of technology bridges the gap communicating across cultures, time and the world, revolutionizing the learning experience. The focus here must be confined to the role of educational leaders as instructional entrepreneurs integrating a system supporting administrators, educators, and students in the twenty-first century schools.
There must be ingenuity on the part of administrators to set the stage and stay on the cutting edge of technology devices and resources to be implemented. Teachers must then experiment- not scrap student learning and plan flexible lessons (Mueh, 2004). Technology replies with ongoing advances in hardware and software designed to optimize the teaching learning process. For example: The infamous Internet, evolving in the 1960’s, now allows administration, teachers and students to maximize their skills. Tapping into technology is a critical step to improve the education system and ensuring teacher quality.
