I think it is amazing how far we have come as a society when it comes to the evolution of technological tools and use in education. Many theorists have such innovative ideas on how to utilize technology in new and vibrant ways to reach all of the learning styles and modes of each and every individual student. Walczak (2003) has many wonderful depictions of what a truly engaging classroom can be in her ideas on "Adventure Learning." This type of learning allows students to become more independent in their thinking and processes to complete given tasks. It also allows a wide variety of technological tools to choose from to best fit the way that they retain and acquire new information. Overall, these ideas show promising prospects of what is to come in the future and I cannot wait!
