Week 5 Wrap-up

Week five brought together the reasoning of why need technology in schools and how we are moving our traditional classrooms to 21^st century classrooms. Not only does using technology empower our students but also we are helping them connect globally with students across the globe. When we have the students work in groups or in online communities, they are connecting and learning at a higher level.   We as teachers are becoming more like coaches and mentors and letting our students discover and explore to find solutions. This creates excitement and engagement in learning and propels students to continue to strive for excellence. The main reasons we need technology in schools is prepare our students for future jobs. We need to provide training and skills for them to be successful in any path they choose.
