What Teachers Will Need To Know

In the next five years teachers will slowly need to learn how to teach online classes. In our school this week they offered to all staff the possibility of teaching online classes for extra pay. We have a total of 75 students who are taking strictly online courses. I also think teachers are going to have to learn a vast amount of new technology. With the world evolving around new technology, students will need to learn it to succeed when entering the work force and higher education. If they don't switch to it, their students will be way behind compared to the other students who have learned it and used it. This will give them a huge advantage.

In addition, I think all teachers will have to learn how to develop and maintain Web pages for educational purposes. By doing this it will give students a huge advantage. If they miss school they know what their assignment is. If they forget what their homeworkwas, they can look it up on the Web site. Furthermore, it will give parents a huge advantage looking over their child to make sure they are keeping up with their work. Also their are ways for parents to be able see their childs grades. This would also be benificial so if their child is struggling they can help them or get them help.

I also think teachers will have to be trained to adabt to use video and podcast in their lessons.
