The new normal is going to change schools forever. We are in a technological world and students are going to be forced to understand how to use this new technology in an educational manor. My future classroom will need to have new technology in it so I can teach students to the best of my ability. This is a scary thought to have because teachers are going to have to continually adapt to the new norms. I’m not even comfortable with all of

the technology that I use on a daily basis. We have to rethink the entirety of schooling because of this pandemic. The reason I say this is because technology will be a part of students lives forever and schools will need to change how they react to these technologies in order to succeed with them. The way we can balance our battle with technology and our love for it is by embracing all of the possibilities that it offers. We can do so much with students devices to help them understand topics in class and taking advantage of that is key. I will definitely have a tough time with this because I struggle using my phone in an educational way. I believe that’s the key to finding use from technology, ensuring students are on task. When we have students stay on task while using something like a laptop or phone, they will provide their best work. They have the world at their fingertips and we need to help teach them about the dangers and possibilities that this brings us. I believe that we can have success.
