As I was reading through the Unit 3 required literature, I started with Gartner\u2019s (2016) press release on emerging technologies, surprised by the amount of technology I had not heard of. I had to stop multiple times to look up the technology be<\/span>ing discussed: smart dust, 4D printing, and neuromorphic hardware for example (Gartner, 2016).<\/p>\n

I questioned my ability to acc<\/span>ommodate these huge technological triumphs? Due to the fact that I don’t know what I am preparing for and that change is often not accepted quickly within K-12 education, the idea to prepare my classroom (an online learning environment) for the future seems impossible.<\/p>\n

Moore\u2019s (2016) TAPPA process, a design p<\/span>rocess made for the online learning environment, was able to help me begin to conceptualize how I might be able to work in these changes. TAPPA, an acronym for Target, Accomplishment, Past, Prototype, and Artifact, was illustrated with a double helix, having the ability to move back and forth between the different stages (Moore, 2016). The idea to continue to use the same target and assessment, but revisit the\u00a0past, prototype, and artifact as technology changed seemed to provide an option. However, as much as I begin to understand and conceptualize the idea of the change that will be needed surrounding technology in the upcoming years, it still feels very daunting.<\/p>\n

I am curious, within your context how you think c<\/span>hange will be accepted, if at all? How do you think the invention and use of new disruptive technology such as smart dust will be taken? Or do you think new businesses or departments will be introduced to handle these new challenges\/innovations?<\/p>\n
