As soon as I opened up to this chapter I paid close attention to the things that education and technology are moving from and where they are moving too. Moving from narrow-band to broad-band, from plain text to multimodal rich connectivity, from wired to wireless, and from users adapting to the technology to the technology adapting to the user. The one that stood out most to me was the technology adapting to the user. Specifically the chapter says "Emerging and rapidly changing technologies demand individuals who are prepared to experiment, adopt or discard technology tools as they appear, evolve, become successfully entrenched, or fall by the wayside." Since society is changing to become so dependent on technology we may be more forced to encourage students to think ahead. What this means to me is that we may be creating world of more critical thinkers. I see the shift into technology as bringing on a positive change that is needed to be the new face of education. Another section that stood out to me is the "Searching for Information" section. I would aim to do as the chapter explained by having the students "searching for information, evaluating the worth of the information, and then organizing the information to make it more readily useable." Im pretty sure that this will require some trial and arror runs, on my and my students behalf.
