Onward and Upward. Week 9

So as the semester one draws to an end, we're discussing the future of teaching. Will we continue to value literacy and numeracy results over the well-being of students? Will technology take the place of teachers? Where do I want to be in my future?
My peers and I thought about where we would like to be in the future, and designed the mind map below.

I also thought about where teaching was going and designed another mind map.

One thing's for sure, whether we like it or not, technology is going to be a big part of our future, and I have a feeling that if you don't jump on the band wagon then you're going to be left far behind. Instead of thinking about all the negatives that can be associated with technology, we as teachers need to learn it, and then discover ways we can use it as an asset in our classrooms. 

Despite the positives, I fear the day when we use technology in  place of interacting with our students, or sending them outside to investigate our world. We must use technology in moderation, and not allow all old aspects of teaching be forgotten.
