I remember when the iphone was first introduced. I was a computer science student at the time and was amazed with the technology. They weren’t available in Canada yet but since we lived in Windsor ON some of my fellow classmates had gone over to Detroit, bought one and then ‘jailbroke’ the phone so it could work with a Canadian sim card. It’s hard to believe this was only 2007? Today a touch screen is as normal to children as a television was to me. In teachers college I was impressed with the training and experience I was able to have using interactive whiteboards. The first time I used a SMART Board my face lit up like a Christmas tree. I was astonished by the power and the potential to create new and unconventional ways of teaching and instructing. However I have been a little disappointed with my observations of how the school boards use the levels of technology available. I imagined that observing what takes place in education now should be revolutionary in comparison to when I went to grade school but I often see the exact same lessons and pedagogy just projected on a more colorful interactive screen. I actually still see many teachers still using overhead projectors. I am left wondering if education is something that can keep the course and be ok or if we are quickly falling behind in properly training students to be on the forefront of research and innovation?
