'Too Cool for School? No
way!'
I am in total agreement
with the article above in the link. I believe that technological implementation
in our schools is of vital importance. It can create excitement for learning and
increase a students want to learn. It is also seen that some form of
technology is involved in all subjects of learning. So a certain know how in
this area as a teacher is of high importance.
In today's society technology plays a major role in our everyday lives. With advances in technology schools everywhere are moving with the times and taking advantage of the readily available resources such as iPads, laptops, smart boards and projectors. What we are seeing now is ICT becoming an integral part of our schooling system and it is no longer being labelled as just an extra subject.

Many people see gadgets such as iPads, GPS and laptops as toys, but through the use and understanding of the TPACK model a teacher can turn this technology from toys to teaching aids.
TPACK (Technological,
pedagogical, content knowledge).
Through this idea it is
seen that technology is making a positive contribution to teaching, this being
said, a teacher must fully understand the technology before using it to assist
with the students learning. Technology is redefining the way in which we teach,
it is moving us forward and into the future, children are being born into a
world of technology, so teaching with this technology is a must in order to
further develop a child's learning capabilities.
