Shelly Fryer: Technology 101 Skills for Teachers
Many teachers that have technology readily available at their fingertips only use it to "put students on an app" and use it only as a reinforcer or teacher for basic skills. Shelly, however, wants to show teachers that they can use technology to encourage students to heighten their creativity. Students can use technology to create new things and express their new ideas and Shelly wants to make sure that no child is hindered because the technology in classrooms is not being used to it's full potential. Many times students are able to learn technology much faster than adults are, but if they are not prompted to do so they will more than likely not try. This means that adults and educators need to educate themselves on different forms of technology and how to use them so they can in turn encourage students to use and learn about them.
