I completely agree with Ms. Hines's point in this article. Technology will change everyday but the ultimate test will be our ability to adapt. Will teachers be able to grab on and use new technology to develop the minds of their students? Ultimately technology will only take students so far. They will still need the guidance of teachers to help develop their minds and it is the job of the teacher to make sure that happens. It will require a lot of continuous learning, but that will only allow the teacher to do a better job for their students.
My favorite thing that Ms. Hines talks about in this blog is how teaching and learning go hand in hand. She said that if students aren't learning that the teacher isn't really teaching. She refers to this concept as 'smart teaching.' This concept is meant to acknowledge how teachers must take the time to discover new teaching methods to connect with their various students.

And if the teacher isn't learning, and modeling good learning, she/he probably isn't teaching very well either!
