The way that humans are gathering, processing and storing knowledge is rapidly changing. This shift in learning poses many challenges to current educational systems. Students are "plugged in" 24/7 and as educators we need to keep our activities up to speed with their worlds if our goal is to keep students engaged, and motivated, throughout the day. We also need to continually educate ourselves with the newest technologies so that we know what our students have access to, and can utilize, outside of school.

Michelle, Technology lets us become faster communicators, and we need to use technology in our schools - however, critical thinking isn't always speedy. Just because a student can text or chat or twitter, or whatever, doesn't mean that they are thinking deeply about important issues - they need to recognize when to say "wait, I need to think about this awhile."
