Edutopia: Some people have the gift of seeing the future. Seymour Papert was one of the first to recognizes the potential that technology had on education. He was one of the few that projected how the computer, which was a bunch of vacuum tubes that counter one’s and zero’s, affected the education process. Over the decades I have worked in the technology evolution that saw computers that just fill out forms and crunched numbers to being an indispensable to the office, home and classroom. I have embraced some of the change but not all. I have avoided the social media revolution in the past, but as the article points out, the classroom of today and the future thrives in social media. As a future teacher, I need to embrace the 21st century classroom and all of the technology that supports it.
