Fischbowl Video

As I watched this video I was reminded of how much technology has advanced since I was in high school. In 1993, when I graduated high school, computers in the home were not commonplace. I had minimal access to computers at school but the use of those computers was not common either. Needless to say, when I returned to college last semester, as an adult with little computer experience, I was forced to quickly learn about computers and their benefits to my educational process. I often find myself asking my eleven year old son and eight year old daughter how to do things on the computer. When I was eight years old my main educational concern was spelling words and arithmetic, not Internet browsers and PowerPoint projects. Since 1993, just 14 years ago, technology has increased three times over with new innovations being discovered everyday. As a educator it is important for me to stay on top of technological advancements so that I can use technology as a beneficial educational resource.
