Chapter 10 Reflection

The book is completed! Learning takes place both in the classroom and outside of the classroom everyday. This is what we call lifelong learning- it can happen throughout life all the time. Teachers need to be motivators for students and keep them interested in learning by pursuing their interests. This will keep the students more engaged in learning. Teachers need to prepare students for a more technological age of learning. Currently, the educational field needs people who can promote technological devices to inform schools about them. They need to learn to integrate schooling and technology to provide us with more resources, knowledge and capabilities in the classroom.

It is very important for the teacher to be a motivator in the classroom. I remember teachers I have had in the past that have been very motivating and encouraging and made me excited to learn about different topics. I have also had teachers who have taught for many years and it seemed like their excitement died because they were not interesting at all. Teachers need to incorporate technology in the classroom to help prepare their students for the real world. In the years to come, technology will take over, it happening slowly but it is just a matter of time before it happens. Teachers are the center to learning and students need to be around enthusiastic leaders.
