      Answer Example

      "I'm always reading technology magazines like Wired and Popular Science. Whenever I see something new and interesting, I think about how I might be able to use it in a lesson and how it could benefit students. For example, when iPads first came out, I read about how the App Store would be open to any developers who wanted to create and offer an app. So, I kept an eye on the educational software section. It is important to get new technology into the hands of students to stimulate learning, and so they become comfortable navigating new programs and devices."

      "The best way I have of keeping up to date on new technologies that enhance student learning is by participating in various teacher groups on Facebook. There, teachers both locally and globally generously exchange resources and strategies that work in their classrooms. There is a wealth of information in that resource alone. Another great resource looking at what teachers within the district are already using that can be shared."

      Marcie's Feedback

      Nice! It sounds like you already stay up to date on new technologies via Facebook teacher groups and by paying attention to what local teachers are already using. Both of these methods seem like effective ways to stay abreast of new teaching technologies. The interviewer will be happy to hear that you proactively stay up on new information.
