From Foundations of Education (a book I used while I was getting my master's):
Teachers, students, and parents find themselves functioning, at work and at home, in an increasingly technological environment. In less than 15 years, we have gone from audiotapes to iPods, from CDROMs to CD burners, videotapes to DVDs, and transparencies to PowerPoint slides. Who knows what technology we will be talking about in the next decade, but you can be sure it will be challenging and exciting and have a significant impact on our lives. Our current generations of students--even elementary-grade students--are often more technologically proficient than their teachers and parents. School systems will need to commit both financial and human resources to help already overloaded faculty stay up-to-date technologically. Teacher-education programs must prepare new teachers for this technological world. And, as a teacher, you must continue to stay abreast of the latest technology before your students outpace you.
