Teacher and learning are very important in today’s school system. In order for students to succeed in these ever changing times it is our responsibility to teach and make technology readily accessible for our students. In order for them to reach their full potential then it is a necessity for our classrooms to be equipped with resources that our students may never get to see outside of their home. Many students such as the one I teach in my students don’t have access to computers outside of the classroom or even have the means to leave their neighborhood. I feel that the progress in our local area is more up to date or even equal to those in more established districts. We have been able to get money and allocate it towards the technology our students need. We have been able to do this by our state that has made it possibly by grants and other title funds. Trends that are up and coming are very important as well because technology changes everyday and it is up to each of these levels to keep the staff developments and information available to keep these current in the classroom. The main problem I see that has been consistent across the board is getting the time necessary to teach all of these technological terms to our students. We have to focus so much on the core subjects that we are not able to set aside time to incorporate all of these important tools the students will need.
