Current Issues

I think this is a great course to take because I feel that Instructional Technology certainly has many issue that need to be explored. Already I think the asynchronized conversation have come up with a lot of the issues that a new degree like this one faces. For me the problem I find as a teacher is basically two things...one the lack of resources in the school and two the gap between the kids who have access and those who don't. One thing that we've also been exploring recently is what exactly does one do with a degree in ITEC. In all truth I got this degree because as a teacher I didn't want to go into administration and the convience of it being online was definitely a bonus. Of course I truly believe educators need to know the best ways of educating their students and technology is one of the best tool to do so as well. Geez, and the possiblity of where education is going with technology...aaAmazing!! However, keeping up with it all is exhausting. It's crazy that after I learn SO much information and great tools to use in the classroom that in 2 years much of it all will become irrlevant.
