When I enter the teaching profession, I see myself using technology to make my job easier, more organized, and more interactive. With technology advancing at an exponential rate, I can only imagine what tools will be available as time goes on. Communication between teacher and student/parents will be more accessible with new apps programs. Smart boards are a tool that teachers I had in high school used and it made things more organized and customized.
When we went to the technology sandbox, my mind was blown. As someone who wants to teach English, it seems difficult to really incorporate virtual reality and other similar technologies in the classroom especially for high school. One thing I mentioned before is the use of smart boards to teach lessons. They let you pre-load lesson plans that you can draw on and have students interact together through games and quizzes.
What about if you were to read a piece of historical literature, say Tale of Two Cities, and students could walk through the setting in virtual reality? Wouldn't that be cool!!!
