iPod carts are readily available for teacher use, and I update them as well as search for education Apps that would benefit our students. Kindles, Flip Cameras, Easi-Speak Microphones et cetera are my responsibility. I do not just make them available, but I teach teachers and students to use them.
From my office, I use Camtasia to create instructional videos, book talks, and other enrichment lessons for classes (K-12). In addition, I maintain the school website and am in the process of redesigning it and redesigning a webpage for the Media Center.
The best answer as to how technology/media will impact my future is to say that it will direct it. As it changes and grows so will I. The future of education will look very different than it does now. The learning environment that most of us knew to be as straight rows, straight backs, and straight instruction is a museum. Educators are having a hard time accepting the change, but it is inevitable. Technology will define how students learn. Hmmm..... I wonder what's next????
