Emerging
technology is both exciting and scary. We live in a constantly
changing world where children become visually oriented at an earlier
age than ever before. Information is thrown at us from all
directions and at mind boggling speeds. Technology that
previously lasted for twenty years is obsolete in two years. One
of education’s biggest challenges is to keep abreast of these changes
and find ways to integrate newer technology at a rate that prevents its
processes from becoming as obsolete as last year’s X-Box.
.
If you consider technology in the context of Moore’s Law, it certainly
makes sense. How often in the past five years have you purchased
a piece of technology only to learn it has become obsolete within a
year’s time? Software and computer hardware are evolving at an
extreme rate of speed. Individuals are struggling to keep up, so
how can we expect educational systems to continue to be on the cutting
edge?
One way is to keep informed.
