Kathleen Kennedy Manzo said that while many of the preservice teachers in the study had confidence in the power of technology to improve learning, more than half were not as confident in their own skill in using tech tools.
The good point is that as the technology advances all the other things advance too and as younger teachers enter the classroom the technology will gain more of a footing in improving learning because they are more comfortable with technology and have broad experience using it in their everyday lives.
The teachers nowadays are making effort to take part of these changes. Although PRENSKY presents us (teachers who weren’t born into the digital era) as immigrants we are having the support to be able to use the new tech in our job and give the students the motivation they need to improve their learning and have good and modern environment of studying.
