Prensky Text

I really enjoyed reading the Prensky text. It proved to be very advantageous for me. Since I will be an early childhood educator, it helps me learn the appropriate way to implement technology in the classroom. I learned that technology should not overshadow the lesson. Instead, it should enhance the lesson. There are ways to partner technology with the curriculum. Also, I did not think of teaching as a way to partner with students. I always thought of teachers as mainly leaders. I did not know that there was a different type of student partnering. I thought there was one general way of partnering. I did not know that teachers and students have so many roles.

The Prensky text answers so many questions I have about teaching in the future. It helped me feel less nervous about teaching in the future. It also helped me understand how the curriculum can be real and relevant
