IT integration is a fast evolving and extremely popular mode of interacting within a business and beyond the walls of the business. The mastery of the technical side is essential in developing the proper array of tools to be the most successful in an ever growing technological world.
Some students have never used some technology and may need more time to catch on to some technologies.
In a world dominated by technology, it is important that we teach students the value of learning IT related skills.
From this application, I learned it's important to add technology into the course demonstration. Doing so, increases interactive learning and communication between instructors and studies.
Understanding that tech/IT are very useful things when applied to the right causes for business and how having a good grasp from a student aspect.
Too often in early childhood education, we assume technology is "bad" because we default to the child as the user/consumer and fail to consider the tech skills of the educator. In our community college program, our discipline-specific standards for accreditation now include stringent incorporation of technology skills for our learners. Many "millennials" come knowledgeable about Tic-Tok and Facebook but cannot open and save a document on a desktop computer. I'm learning that "keyboarding" and "computer classes" are no longer included in many of our state's high school programs; students access materials for class via iPads and their personal phones. Given that the majority of business--including education--still use traditional desktop units, this lack of instruction in secondary and postsecondary curricula needs to be revised!
Being comfortable using technology and understanding that technology is an ever-growing, rapidly changing field are important in today's workforce. As a teacher, it is valuable to incorporate technology in our own delivery of materials and instruction and in the submission of work from students. However, if we want students to use technology on their own, we need to make sure we are clearly explaining how each program works. We cannot assume knowledge from our students.
I like that its says you need to use technology when it builds not just because it is there. Teaching students industry specific technology is very important.
instant accessibility to knowledge
Technology and innovation is the times we are in today, and we as instructors should always iincorperate this form of learning in all classrooms.
Tech and innovation are always in the drivers seat to some capacity, the more we offer the better prepared the kids will be.

Technology adds a visual aspect of learning through videos, tht helps give students additional persepctives.
As a Medical Assistant instructor I can certainly understand the need for IT. Within the Health Care field, having patients information created, shared and saved using technology is the best thing since "sliced bread". The accuracy and timely manner in which we can now treat patient is awesome. Student using a e-health simulation that is so realistic, that transioning into the work field will be less intimidating.
Infromation Technology is a way to maximize and improve productivity. With the Internet of Things (IoT) more and more invovations are becoming comon in both work and classroom experiences. By understanding and knowing how to use information technology, everyone is better prepared to accomplish their task.
