A lot has certainly changed in the last few years in technology. Dusty chalkboards have been replaced with interactive whiteboards that facilitate student involvement. Students were lucky to share the one and only classroom computer with the teacher and now they have one-to-one access to advanced laptops. Websites that were only static text and images are more interactive and fully encourage participation. There's little need to know HTML as online services now allow easy and instant publishing. Some software no longer has to be purchased and installed because we can do the same tasks online for free. The pace of change only seems to be increasing. Let's examine changes in technology and society so that we can leverage these exciting trends in education.
