Global awareness and digital-age communication

Every teacher should have an awareness and understanding of the current world we live in. today we live in the digital age where new technology is constantly changing the ways we live our lives. Technology is constantly being added into the classrooms. When I was a kid we had a few computers in the school and that was it for technology. Today kids are using iPad’s and research databases in their studies.  In the digital age of communication students are more tech-savvy than ever before.  Teachers need to be aware of how they can incorporate these technologies into the classroom. There are many forms of digital age communication. Examples are Skype, twitter, Facebook, text messaging and more. It’s important for teacher to show their students how to properly uses these devices and give them the respect they deserve. Digital communication can have the same responses as face to face interactions. A rule of thumb in digital communication is treat others how you would want to be treated.
