Teachers are Superheros with a Powerful Superpower

"Technology amplifies your teaching. You're the hero, you just need a superpower and that's technology. That technology is your help"                                         - Dr. Kecia Ray
The second day of #iDC2016 (technology conference within D.C. Public Schools) started off well with the keynote speaker Dr. Kecia Ray, with the Center for Digital Education. Dr. Ray highlighted what education should look like today. Her message indicated that there are no negatives with personalized learning and only positives. She emphasized that technology is changing the landscape of teaching.

She shared the video from Dateline NBC that highlights the changes with technology from the "olden days" to the present. Students have access to much different technologies today than were available not even that long ago.





In what ways do you feel that "technology is changing the landscape of teaching?" 

Is technology a teacher's superpower?

  1. This video was so funny! I love how the kids kept saying "olden days." Crazy they will never experience those types of communication.
