How will technology change being a teacher?

I want to be a teacher but I don't like change in a career. I know the things you teach will change, and maybe the rooms you teach in but how will technology change in this career field?

I go to an independent school so we aren't very wealthy and the government doesn't give us as much money as other schools. All we have is chalk boards a few computers, pull down screens with over head projectors, and 15 year old text books or older. So what do you think will happen in the future for this field.How will technology change being a teacher?
People are taking more and more classes online. So, one of the biggest changes will be that fewer people will actually be in a room with a teacher.

Very probably students will be working more independently. Software can be designed to meet the needs of students at different levels in a classroom. So, instead of a teacher being in front of a classroom, trying to get students at different levels to understand something, students can study the material by themselves at a level that's appropriate for them, using iPads and other devices.



A teacher's main job will be deciding just how to use technology in the classroom.How will technology change being a teacher?
wow--good question.theres no telling where technology will go. I do know that college's are using more and more online sites and many course's now require you to attend class but also log in and use the online course also. Tablets are big now--so hopefully every student will have a tablet and you will feed them work--its so wide open.

we need teachers--so pursue your dream..........How will technology change being a teacher?
If you classes do not end up on-line entirely, you can fully expect classrooms in K to college to be "smart rooms" in which you have PC consoles and data projectors and touch screens. Chalk boards are all but gone, and any college not providing at least a white pen board, are already out of step. You will be glad that classrooms are well on their way to being upgraded.



As for the subject matter, I am hoping that it moves closer to the fundamentals of reading, writing, and math, but right now, all I am seeing is politically correct indoctrination with issues like: globalisation, race, gender, and the environment subjects, pushing students to respond in a specific sociopolitical way or face a lower overall grade. Teachers in many English courses who have ideas and are encouraging students to think for themselves are being shown the door, unless they are tenured.



Try to find a campus that genuinely tries to teach students to think independently and in a broader perspective, not just to parrot a view. Technology is good, but there is a danger of cut and paste papers turned in by students who do not want to do their own work or are afraid to do their own work or even think for themselves. The Internet is their life, and most cannot slow down and open a text and just read and take notes for their own understanding. You will find this to be your biggest challenge if you care about what you are doing.



Hope this helps
