College hosts educational technology speaker series Summary/Reflection

College hosts educational technology speaker series

            The article “College hosts educational technology speaker series” talks about a college that hosted the T21 Speaker series.  The article explains how the T21 Speaker series is presented and what it entails.  The T21 Speaker series is a program designed for future educators. The program educates future educators on new and current technology.  The program shows future educators how to use this technology, how to implement it into the classroom, how to set up the technology in the classroom, and how to keep advancing on skills and knowledge.

            I absolutely loved this article!!! I wish we could get the T21 Speaker series at USM! I think this program is amazing. As a future educator I have my concerns about new and current technology. When it comes to ipads and smartboards , I feel overwhelmed. At this point in my education I have not had the opportunity to use ipads or smartboards. I am concerned that I will be uneducated when it comes to these technologies and others even when I am finished with school. I would love to be able to go through a program like T21 before I am out in the work world. I want to be “up to speed” on all technology before I get a job. I want to be able to implement technology into my classroom but in order to do that I have to have the education of how to do it!

  1. I agree with that statement about when it comes to ipads and smartboards leading to feeling overwhelmed. I would like to have a T21 speaker series to come and help us get up to speed on these and other technologies.
