There is a real importance for all teachers to take classes about technology. These technologies are what the students will be using in the work place in the future. They can not learn how to use these technologies if only a few teachers are showing them how to use them. All of us have to be using these technologies to give all students a fair change to survive in the future work place. the more the students see and use these things the more mastered the will be. We do not want our students following behind in the real world. I also think this has lite a fire in me to educate myself in these technologies and if the kids can see me being excited, they will be excited.
