Question 1 - It is important to keep technology alive in the classroom because it helps students prepare for the workforce by providing them with essential skills they will need in the future. Learning about technology and using it in the classroom allows students to become familiar with tools and software that are commonly used in various industries.

Question 2 - Technology is important for learning because it can cater to different learning styles and abilities, making it easier for all students to grasp concepts and engage with the material. Using technology in the classroom also allows for interactive and hands-on learning experiences that can enhance student engagement and motivation.

Question 3 - The history of technology is relevant because it shows us how rapidly technology has evolved over the years and how it will likely continue to change in the future. If I had not learned about technology in HS and University, I would not have been as prepared for the demands of my job, as technology plays a crucial role in almost every industry today.

Question 4 - Technology can be used in the classroom to encourage and advance learning in various ways. For example, teachers can use interactive whiteboards, educational apps, and online resources to enhance lessons and make learning more engaging for students. Additionally, at TCAH, we utilize features like live lessons, discussion boards, and multimedia content to provide a dynamic and interactive learning experience for students.
