Week 15 Observation

I think the tools mentioned in this week's lecture are pretty cool. The options students today have to help them learn are amazing and wide open for the future. I can't imagine where
we will be in ten years.
It seems to me that this is a natural progression for teaching techniques. With all the video games and technology available to children now, Educational technology is going to be the
only way to compete and keep the students' involved and interested.
These advances are also great for the educators. The rubrics and clicker assessment tools are great for the teachers; they help ease their work load of making lesson plans and grading, allowing more time to be engaged with the students in discussion and exploration of lessons. To have these lesson plans available and have them tied into TEKS and standards is awesome. It frees up the teachers to spend more time teaching.
