A teacher is like a dream. A dream of something we have designed in our heads and hope that when we wake up it is reality. A dream that we have created something new that is the coolest thing in our life that we can’t wait to talk about and show all of our friends. A teacher is a wide source of knowledge that can help any person reach their goals in life and become a star. A teacher is constantly changing and coming up with new ideas and inspirations that we think about and learn from.
A teacher is like a dream in so many ways. Teachers must continue to learn and teach in everyday life in order to keep up with the world today. I have recently read an article on connectivism, or the integration of new principles and theories into our lives. This article said, “Technology is altering (rewiring) our brains. The tools we use define and shape our thinking.” I don’t think that this could be better put another way. Technology is constantly changing and revolving around our lives. It is a teacher who trys to learn this technology and incorporate it into the classroom so that students can benefit most from it. We use technology more than we realize in life and this technology not only influences our thinking process, but it influences how we live our life and things that we do. Social Media has changed learning. “The knowledge in the technology field changed extremely quickly.” We connect to different networks as social media sites to find out what is happening around the world, we form opinions about it, and then represent these opinions in many different ways such as speech, dress, style, where we go, who we support, and everything else we take into consideration in everyday life.
