Information and our communication technology have become a very important part in everyday lives. Students have access to an abundant “library” of technological information. Even with the ability to communicate and additional access to information that is presented by digital words, one must verify the author’s words and know that authors are accurate, verify that the author is knowledgeable and the information they present is based on facts. It is necessary to prove know that facts are being presented in this digital word, not an author’s opinions. Some would say that computers have made the printed literature obsolete and there will be no need for libraries. This thought brings to mind how great it felt to visit the library to obtain information needed for any type report and how secure this written word in my hands seemed to be unquestionable. With this fleeting thought, as a teacher I must remember it is now extremely important that I come to my classroom ready for this innovative and way of teaching. I must be prepared to present all materials in a motivated and interesting format to keep their interest and desire to be successful students.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15643649665460094240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725285395319049030.post-69481050315073013022012-09-24T15:26:52.205-04:002012-09-24T15:26:52.205-04:00That is true.
