I read an article called: Kathy is a supporter of educational technology to support instruction in the classroom. I was drawn to the article Technology To Watch: 5 Questions with Kathy Schrock. I have enjoyed following her since I stumbled upon Kathy Schrock’s guide for Educator’s through Discovery School a number of years ago. This article definitely shows that her opinion regarding technology is highly valued.
What I gained from this article is a clearer picture of where technology was, is and where it could go. Kathy mentioned some of the things she predicted that would happen are not as well developed as she would have liked. She mentioned the Web. 2.0 revolution was not even on her last prediction list and it has become quite popular because of collaboration aspect of this tool. Also Kathy mentioned how she was anxiously waiting for the digital textbook which will have traditional content but interactivity.
After I read this article, I wanted to get more informed about the latest and greatest in Educational Technology. It also brought to the front of my mind to research the “newest” Web. 2.0 tools. These are things I love to use in my classroom and the students really enjoy also.
This article may be of help to others if they want to keep informed about technology from a woman who has experience and expertise in this area.
