Week+1

 __Week 1__ This week I have so far learnt what **Neuroplasticity** means, how to create a simple wiki, what the classroom of the future will most likely look and be like, and how teachers should become more open to technology as it is the wave of the future. As well I have seen how in the coming future teachers will not be sources of knowledge for students, but instead will be the facilitators that guide students on their journey of learning. In addition I have learnt how today's students learn, and how as teachers we will have to adapt to the changing times to stay current in order to provide the best service possible to students.

In regards to students learning, this weeks reading details how the children of today think and how their upbringings have caused their brains to be **"rewired"** because of this media bombardment. The article also details the changing role of the teacher and how teachers "are expected to be more than just teachers - they are expected to be coaches, psychologists, social workers, and therapists." (Jukes, pg 3) The article also details how education is very tradition based and shaped by history, but that teachers need to modernize themselves or else find themselves being left behind by their technology savvy students.
