Our world’s fast pace of technological innovation makes it is difficult to imagine what things will be like 2018. How much harder then is it to prepare students for a world we cannot imagine. As the 6th grade English teacher at KIPP WAYS Academy I feel that it is my responsibility to expose my students to the new literacies they will need as they enter the work force. However, I have found this task difficult within the current educational structure of an American School system rooted in high stakes testing and the banking method.
To what level should students learn to use technology at school? Can there be too much technology in the classroom? How can we adapt technology to meet the immediate need of passing standardized tests and the long term goal of creating well-rounded individuals?
