The future of educational technology in developing knowledge, skills and abilities pertains to both learning in the classroom (in- person or on-line) whatever flows over to real-life. Real-life can be in the workplace or homelife.

 

I have seen and used all the skills, regardless of what work environment, school life and personal life I’ve been engaged in. One of my pet peeves is when a person just makes it in to work in time. A disregard of a timeline. The problem I have with it is how it affects other co-workers, especially if you work in a 24-7 environment, such as a hospital. I find it very disrespectful to the coworker that wants to leave on-time, especially if it’s 6am in the morning. These skills develop in a person and stay with them and become stronger and can branch out as long as you continue to use them.

 

The world around us is ever changing, especially technology. We as teachers, in any capacity, can help to prepare students for changes and their ability to adapt and learn. It builds a confidence that allows them to move forward in school and workplace. No skills lends itself to stagnancy and going nowhere.
