In April I wrote a post about 10 internet technologies that educators should be informed about. This quickly became my most read posting. I included some references in this article to why educators should be aware of and informed about these tools, but most of those comments were really about why each specific technology was included in the list, as opposed to why, in a more general sense, it is important for educators to make an effort to embrace these technologies. So that is the topic for this week - why you should care, as an educator, about these tools. What's in it for you as an instructor, and what's in it for your students?

- What’s in it for you as an instructor, and what’s in it for your students?
- Reason No. 1: Professional Development
- 10 more annotations...
- - to be aware of what the Internet has to offer
  - Reason No. 2: The Power To Engage
  - Internet tools can be fun! Internet tools are interactive! What a great way to engage students in the classroom. Many of the tools are collaborative, and they are all hands-on.
  - Reason No 3: Students Use Them Already
  - Many students use Internet tools on a regular basis. If you use some of them in the classroom, you will be talking to them in their language.
  - Reason No. 4: It’s Not Going Away (It Will Only Grow)
  - It isn’t going away. It isn’t a fad. It’s only going to grow and evolve. It’s already woven into the fabric of the daily lives of millions of people.
  - Reason No. 5: Businesses Want to Hire Workers Who Understand The Internet
  - Businesses want to hire workers who understand the Internet.

    So it's essential that educators understand it well enough to use it effectively and model this for their students.
  - What I am suggesting is that you learn a little about the many different kinds of tools that are out there (many of which are free or very low cost) and give a few a trial run. Online interactive whiteboards, Wikis, virtual worlds, workgroup tools, mind mapping, collaborative documents, the list just goes on and on, and the potential is endless. You owe it to yourself and your students to be informed, to participate, and to embrace the opportunities.
