Did I Miss Out?

During my teacher training, e-learning was not a focus, and to be honest a lot of the new technology making it's way into the classrooms was yet to become commercially available. Any use of new technology during teaching practices was down to the individual. I don't however think my experience has had a negative impact on the implementation of technology in my teaching. As a teacher I'm always looking for creative and engaging ways to enhance the learning experience of my students. My students live in a world which has advanced from the system I was taught in. It is an educators duty to provide a service / experience that matches the world students live in. Technology is the future, the positive effect it has in education is apparent to those who use it and is quickly spreading to those who currently don't. Teaching is a profession where training never ends. If you didn't experience it at university I don't believe you miss out. Like driving you learn more once you out there doing it.
