Once I graduate from Susquehanna and start my first teaching job, staying on top of the latest trends on education and technology will probably be the hardest thing for me to do. Technology is changing every day, so that makes it harder already to stay informed of changes in technology. With all the work I will have in teaching, it will make it even harder. One way that I believe can help me stay on top of the latest trends is by talking to other teachers. One of the best ways to learn about teaching, is learning from your piers. You can talk to other teachers by going to workshops, talking to teachers in your school face to face, or by researching blogs on the internet. Another way to stay up on trends is to see what is new in technology. Wired is a good magazine for the advancement in technology. Just because something is not created with education in mind, does not mean that i cannot be used in education. Teachers can use creativity with new technologies and implement them in their classroom. Another way to stay on top of the trends of technology in education is by visiting other schools. You might be able to visit another school that may be more advanced technology wise then your school. There is also the chance that you visit a school who is in the same boat as your own.

Creativity is key! Five different teachers can use the same technologies in so many different ways based upon their creativity. Work on thinking outside the box to develop your own creativity and definitely remember to talk with other teachers - share those ideas and resources!
