Conclusion:
I have been
surrounded by technology since day one of my education. It has played a major
part of my learning and it has already been extremely important at the start of
my teaching career.
As my career develops, so will technology.
I have already been lucky enough (in my opinion) to have witnessed the biggest
developments in technology the world has ever seen (Edwards, 2012). However, I
may have the challenge of competing with others that are more digitally
competent at certain software at work or during interviews. Also, I will always
need to adapt to new updates/upgrades or learn how to utilise brand new technology
device into my teaching.
In terms of marking a student’s work, this
digital age makes it increasingly difficult to give appropriate grades. There
has been such increased ‘copying’ of online work the invention of ‘Turn it in’
to assess plagiarism has been crucial. As it is now easier to access academic
work online (journals etc.) there has been increased ‘laziness’ whereby the
student presents other people’s opinions and not their individual thoughts.
I personally believe that technology could
never ‘REPLACE’ teachers, especially in the sports domain whereby practical
experience and development is the utmost reason for participating in this
subject. Technology such as the ‘Coaches Eye’ performance analysis app for iPad
will only aid me throughout my career. The more, the better.
I finish here with the incredible inventions of
the 21st Century:
