There are a variety of ways that technology can be utilized. The readings and video that I viewed all express how there are different uses for technology. They show their audience that technology can be helpful for personal and professional usage. With technology being so abundant and popular, I use it for school, work, and my personal life. The readings and video also described technology as a source for an abundance of information. We have transitioned from gathering information from textbooks, to being dependent on internet sources. The school that I teach at will be launching the use of personalized devices in the school year 2017-2018. This means that the use of textbooks will decrease, and teachers will instruct mainly using ipads, tablets, and laptops.
Differences will exist when authors create readings or videos that are not prompted. One important difference is that teachers must have flexibility when delivering projects or assignments. Flexibility with how students complete their work allows them to express themselves. This is a great way for educators to exhibit differentiation in their instruction.
