There are many types of instructional technology flooding our world today, with promises of increased people’s interest, better networking, and more effective learning. However, there are also many concerns and challenges that come with this change. It is very true that we need to be more flexible in adapting with the latest technology but some end up considering its integration as a far fetched anecdote due to its accessibility which contributes in posing a huge challenge on it. This is because the more we come in contact with familiarize our selves with it also becomes the more we assimilate and the easier the integration in our experience. So that change goes with time as we learn to use the technology which is obtainable to us, like some ripmix-learners have indicated, in their blog which I follow.
Consequently, the issue of technological integration in my experience’s there but with a very low mechanism as these things appear and set off swiftly while some of us are still in step one others are already in level 36 if I am say. But lucky enough is that bit by bit we are getting there. As we are aware, throughout history, advancements in technology have brought about immense change in the world of education and our lives. However, change also brings about new challenges to follow; as a result we must adjust our shock absorbers. While new types of technology make their way into our lives, as now technology has become part lives for instance, how would you feel if mistakenly you forget your phone at home for the rest of the day? Just a day which are the questions coming into yr mind while your phone is not with you? That is you are integrated to it has become part of your culture fully. That is because through technology the world has become a global village “where images and ideas travel thousands miles within a second” Kofi Annan.
