As future educators, it is more important than ever to understand that our future students are inevitably going to be proficient technology users. That is why it is crucial we begin to take the proper steps now to educate ourselves in the hottest trends and newest apps. This can be difficult because we live in a society where what's "cool" changes at a rapid pace, especially at the elementary school level. As simple as that sounds, it is far more difficult than just knowing what's popular. We actually have to take the time and develop the skills to introduce these concepts to our students. I question how, in a world where technology changes so fast, between classes, and work, and personal dilemmas, educators will find the time to incorporate new, diverse, and exciting technology into the classroom. How can we be one step ahead of our students and two steps ahead of technology? Is having the right attitude and approach all that matters?
