This week we discussed the impact technology has on our lives and the digital footprint or tattoo we leave behind. At this day in age, technology is all around us. It helps us to get through our days, making them more convenient, enjoyable and social. I know I use technology daily and a day without technology would be rough. I wake up using my phone, I check the traffic before driving to work, I listen to music, check my email, meditate, make phone calls or send texts and once I’m at work I use technology even further. I teach my students using my digital curriculum, reach out to parents and staff, display work, instruct students, set up classroom routines and allow technology learning/exploring time for my students daily. It is a big part of their education and learning.
It’s interesting to think about the iGeneration and how they have always had access to devices or technology. Their generation will always be different from everyone else as being the first generation defined by their tech and media use, their love of electronic communication and their need to multitask. As I am teaching the students I have now, I think how they were born when touch screens and smart phones were so advance. I always wonder how this will change their lives as compared to where we are at now. Things will look much different by the time they are out of school. This is why it is so important, even in kindergarten, to teach students about their digital footprint or digital tattoo.
After this week I have realized how important it is to leave, check and maintain my positive, hopefully inspiring digital footprint in the world. I plan to check my footprint as I continue to post and think about what I am posting before it is out there. I am curious to see where this technology takes us and the great things we will learn and experience as the technology continues to grow and become deeper engrained in our lives and the world.
