Thinking back to when I was in 8th grade almost 10 years ago, it was crazy to think that a majority of our 'technology' was the use of an overhead in math and rolling in a large TV cart to watch a dvd of a historical movie or informal video of an event.
We as teachers now have the power to continually provide students with resources, examples, artifacts, etc through the use of technology in school and outside of school.

This article from the University of California details how students can be immersed in information and videos with the proper use from teachers. Finding Youtube videos, short audio bits, a collage of pictures can all be great benefits for students because we now have the generation of no paper pencil, but all electronics. The biggest thing the article touches on is getting all ages engaged with the lesson of each class. These engagement activities can be done easily with technology and students will be more likely to watch and observe a video rather than a 10 minute lecture on yesterday's lesson.
