Technology is Everywhere!

At the beginning of our PD session on Friday on literacy training, our vice-principal shared this video entitled Did You Know? 4.0:

I can not (and at the same time, I can) believe how much I have been hearing about technology in all aspects of my life lately.  On one hand, I do not recall hearing nearly as much about technology in years past, but on the other hand, I know how much technology is changing and shaping our educational world so why wouldn't I be hearing about technology?

I also found some information about how technology is effecting brands and their interaction with consumers.  It made me think about how if I want to be a good brand (teacher) and I want to sell a product (knowledge, skills and attitudes) I need to branch out to the consumer (students) in a manner that will best attract their attention and meet their needs.
