    The article explores a study conducted to see what teachers choose to do to conduct their classes when they have no restrictions and limits, specifically in terms of technology. The study showed that despite the freedom to choose the tool of choice, teachers stuck with power points, which are the most basic “old school” way of teaching a class. Savasci concludes after the study that teachers must increase their “ knowledge and skills about how to use those instructional technologies and help them develop positive attitudes toward information and communication technologies”. This illustrates Cahn and Cahn’s sub-claim that schools and their teachers should branch out to innovative technologies for their students. The intended audience seems to be the generation older than the millennials given the subject and context of the study is very factual, but can definitely be intended for millennials as well because the language used is not difficult relative to other academic studies conducted.…

    Reflecting back on how my personal learning network has grown throughout the variety of roles I have held in public education, this assignment has helped me to realize that social networking tools have played a much bigger role in my professional learning than I had originally thought. As a whole my network seems to be a balance between print, digital and face-to-face interactions. Currently, I am a member of ASCD and enjoy getting their monthly publications and do take time to read the quarterly books that are sent. Professional reading has always been an enjoyment for me and seems to guide my digital searches. I enjoy Pinterest and searching Google images to see how other educators are putting the ideas I have read about into practice.…

While our students are now using technology in all aspects of their lives, they also require more support than schools are currently capable of delivering.

If the Smartboards weren’t at the school, then every student would have to get individual papers which would make the cost for papers go sky high. Technology can be used for education as well as communication along with having time to relax with Youtube or…

    Social media has even become a large part of communication in the professional world. Ian Peate talks about how “social media can be a highly effective mechanism that allows for growth and development of professional connections” (Peate 2015). The integration of social media into the workplace demonstrates how using social forms of social media has become a stable pattern of social behavior. While the emergence of social media as a widely used form of communication is somewhat new, the “same standards of conduct that are expected of you in your daily professional practice are also applicable when you use social media and electronic forms of communication” (Peate 2015). Using social media as a tool in business communication can lead to great outcomes of fast and efficient communication, however, the same practices and values that are used in person…
