EDM 310 is a class that revolves around technology, and some of the videos we have watched and the assignments we have completed have completely opened my eyes. By the time I become a teacher within the next few years, it will be nothing like it was when I was a student.

I am studying to be and English and Language Arts teacher, and have gotten in a few discussions on topics similar to this. I think universities will have a hard time acknowledging the way of finding information using technology. As the saying goes, "you can't teach an old dog new tricks".

I am a student at the University of South Alabama and am currently enrolled in EDM310, a class focused on the use of technology being used effectively within the classroom.

The world is evolving and technology is evolving just as fast. Technology will definitely be the next major requirement in schools.

I have seen the trend over the last few years, as everything is becoming more and more digital. I think that it is a slow fading out of the paper system. Even things like banking and bills are done electronically. Many resumes are done through a system.

If we can, more people will engage and contribute. Many will have to learn new relational skills to engage in more succinct communication without making assumptions.

Although I believe that schools will have to move beyond limited ideas of reading and writing as literacy, I do not believe that the traditional essay will die out.
