I think that I am getting to the point where I will be prepared for a 21st century teaching and learning experience. I believe that when it comes to the technology side of working all the different operations that are out there I feel very confident in working them. I feel this way because as a young person I think my generation has a very good understanding of technology. I think there is still a lot to learn about how to incorporate all this technology into the classroom and make it effective for student learning. I think in other aspects of how prepared I am that I have a ways to go before I feel I will be ready to be let loose in a classroom.
I believe that yes students graduate from high school equipped for success using their 21st century skills. However I don't know how much of this know-how comes from the education system and how much of it comes from the students figuring things out on their own. Students know how to use more tech in their daily lives just by playing around with it and being exposed to it as much as they are.
I think the biggest challenges with teaching in the 21st century will be keeping up with the different tech that comes out and how to use it in the classroom. Using new tech will help keep kids engaged and will be crucial for teachers to stay up on to help students learn.
