21st Century Skills

Today in class we discussed skills that teachers in the 21st century should possess. While watching one of the videos I realized that educators are often reluctant to change with the times. In my opinion, teachers should implement new technologies in the classroom in order to prepare their children for the future. It was interesting to read the excuses that educators came up with as to why they should not use new technology in the classroom. When I become a teacher I will always incorporate new technology and tools into the classroom because I understand the importance of adapting. It will be my job to prepare students for jobs that do not exist yet and I will only hinder their development if I do no let them use new technology.
