Hi Damilola,
Thanks for highlight...Trevor says...<br /><br />Hi Damilola,<br /><br />Thanks for highlighting what I feel is the true essence of teaching today. Teachers need to utilize technology in all its various mediums to effectively relate to what is very much a technology driven society. If we as teachers fail to utilize technology efficiently we have in a manner of thought short-changed our students by limiting their opportunities to grow and develop as a result of their interactions with technology. Through technology students' worlds of learning are thrown open to a wealth of learning scenarios and resources that will aid them in gaining a truer sense of the environments in which they interact with information and their peers. Its been said that technology is the wave of the future, so its now time for teachers to grab a surfboard and surf along with the waves of change versus sitting on the shoreline!<br /><br />Thanks again.<br /><br />TrevorTrevorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13718618959099428573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4871873919127467430.post-85844488259108024352012-02-04T02:40:45.712-07:002012-02-04T02:40:45.712-07:00Hi Trevor,

When students are able to use the cognitive, affective and psychomotor types of learning, especially with technology, different abilities and skills will be developed which will be relevant to the 21st century society.<br /><br />Damilola<br /><br />Reference<br /><br />Henderson, T.
