Teaching Technology

I am not only a student of technology but I teach it as well. I am currently in the last stages of my doctorate in computer science in emerging media. But I am also a high school and college teacher of digital video productions.
Even with my educational level, I find that my digital native students teach me something everyday. It is so important as teachers that we incorporate technology into our teaching, if only to keep up with our students and keep them actively involved.
I work with many "older" teacher who believe that the lecture is still the way to teach. As I believe that there is much to be gained by a good lecture, if we do not add multi media into the lesson plan we will begin to lose the students attention and eventually the student.
Our jobs as teachers it to engage. Our students live to their technology. This is how we will connect.
