For ages, learning has been confined to what can be done within the classroom, but with new resources this boundary is expanding to be practically limitless. Resources like google allow our students to travel around the world and even travel through time. The future of education is breaking free from the chains of textbooks written by biased authors and finding exploration through technology. Today’s generation of students have been born into a world where unimaginable amounts of information sit in the palm of their hand. It is our responsibility as educators to teach students how to take advantage of these resources rather than confine them within the bubble of traditional learning styles.
Resources like google offer tools like “site:” and google news which expand the students’ accessibility to knowledge and learning about their potential has open my changed my own outlook on the use of technology as a teacher. Ignoring the potential of technology in a classroom is the act of closing off students from the world around them and we should instead teach them to use it to its fullest potential.
