My analysis of the long range plan has led me to the conclusion that as Texas educators we need to be active proponents of technology. We need to make sure to equip our students with the necessary skills to be thriving in the changing economy. Our society is taking a shift from an industrial to an information based society. In order for our students to be successful in this type of society they must learn to be responsible users of this technology. They must learn the ethics of using online sources. They must make connection in a global economy through the communication sources now made available to them. As educators we must make our curriculum meaningful and seamlessly incorporate technological aspects. This signifies that educators will revert back to learners. We must learn to facilitate the use of technology for our students. This means that there needs to be a shift in our vision.
This new learning has made me realize the importance of teaching our students the proper use of technology. I have realized that we need this new learning in order to better help our student thrive in our society. It would be irresponsible of us to not teach our students the skills necessary to be successful in an information based society. With this new purpose in mind I will feel more passionate about implementing a more effective use of technology within our district. It also helps to know that this is a plan that has been set for all Texas educators.
