Changing Roles

The increased use of technology has brought about vast changes to all sectors of society. Before proceeding with this topic of changing roles, consider the following questions:

• What specific technology-related changes have you noticed between your first year of teaching and now? If you’re new to teaching, how are classrooms, teachers, and instructional practices different now compared to when you began school as a student?


• What changes have impacted you the most?

The readings in the textbook, Key Information, and on the Web site offer a perspective on these questions.
