Entry 1 for CAT532

Hi. My name is Karen. I am in the CAT program and this is my second class.

Our children are growing up in a digital world. They use their cell phones as alarm clocks to get out of bed, update their status on Facebook before catching the bus, listen to MP3s while texting their friends on the way to school, then spend time at the computer loading pictures and watching videos at night. We can only hope to push some amounts of education into their day. Finding new ways through instructional technology is critical. As an educator, understanding the various forms of instructional technology will enable me to capture, engage and retain the attention of today’s student.

As adults, we too must keep up with new technology; whether for purposes of teaching in a classroom, communicating with our children, or striving to excel in the workplace.
