Preparing for digital, global and virtual world

Sounds like teachers have a great deal of catch up work and learning to do to keep up with the digital, global and virtual world. I think teachers can empower student learners with the use of computers but are sometimes limited because of the lack of up to date technology tools and personal knowledge. We as teachers can have a great impact on student learning by using computers in many different ways, more than once a week in the computer lab! Can you imagine if each student had a computer at their desk to use all day long? I think I am going to try to use the school laptops regularly in the classroom and integrate them into our learning. At QUEST we are constantly learning about cultures around the world - so why not contact those countries to help us learn first hand. We have the tools to reach people around the world!
