Movie

I saw old technology that is outdated. The only thing that makes them outdated is that the technology has gotten better. Windows 95 is now Windows 7. Pretty much the same thing only better. The digital camera is similar only instead of using a Micro SD card it had a floppy disk. The camera is still used the same. Even though the technology is outdated the ways students learn technology is the same.

Classroom Technology

I can remember in first grade and my teacher showing me an abacus. She then described how it was used and it has since been made prehistoric by calculators. As I continued my educational career i could see the advancements in technology before my eyes. We started to use calculators, then the calculators became more advanced. Then we got a new computer lab. Our library got a new computer lab as well. By the time i reached college every student on campus was issued a laptop. It is kind of ridiculous to think of the future advancements we are going to make. All these tools help us learn. Without being technology literate someone would not know how to make these tools helpful in education. That is why it is imparative the teachers are literate in technology.
