The document discusses the importance of integrating technology into the classroom. It argues that technology skills will be necessary for students' future careers and lives, and that teachers who do not incorporate technology may become replaced by those who do. Additionally, it highlights how technology can help develop students' creativity, critical thinking, communication and other 21st century skills to better prepare them for college and future jobs.

Editor's Notes
- I’m the Asst. Director for learning technologies at the college, the equivalent to your instructional technologist at your school. It is my job to help all faculty members integrate technology into their classrooms. I was certified in 7-12 and taught Technology Ed in Middle & High School. This morning we are going to discuss why we should use technology in the classroom, and this afternoon we will be doing some hands-on activities in Poe Hall Computer labs
