Hey guys,
I found a really cool article about a book that I had never heard about. The book is called Histroy.edu. This boook helps teachers learn about how technology can affect their history classroom, from email to the World Wide Web. The chapters are broken up into several different essays, seventeen to be exact. John R. Moore wrote the article about how they enjoyed the book. They mentioned, "As described in the introduction, the essays are intended to "help further the discussion and formulation of successful practices" in using technology." This book can actually help teachers become more aware of the growing technologies around them. Teachers will be more likely to use the technologies used in the book after reading, now that they know what they are doing.
As a future history teacher, I hope that i will be skilled in knowing most of the technologies that the year has to bring. I also know that the technology world is growing faster and faster than ever before. Teachers would have to pay a lot of attention and plan ahead of time in order to compensate for some of the new technologies. Many of the students would most likely already know how to work the technologies to some extent. Teachers on the other hand will have to deal with their normal daily work, plus the extra time needed to turn a regular classroom into a technologically advanced classroom. Some day in the future, everything will be virtual and instant, but until then teachers and student will just have to make do with what they have.
