So many things change each and every year. Technology seems to be changing even faster. Each new discovery in technology tries to make life easier than before. The problem with the rapid evolution of technology is that the younger generation of students is starting to fall behind. Teachers now have to take it upon themselves to personally be able to understand what is happening today in technology. If we, the teachers do not understand, how can we expect our students to learn it as well. It has become obvious that we need to start incorporating technology use into classrooms at a younger age. The advancement in technology is only going to continue to grow. With younger students having some kind of understanding of technology, it will give them an opportunity to fully comprehend it as they get older. Technology has been integrated into everyday aspects of life. Technology has the potential to enhance students' abilities and achievements. As teachers, we will always urge our students to be creative and original. Students will then begin to think of ways to be original. Technology will be the best option for many of them. There are so many ways to do something using technology, and the better understanding students have of this will allow them to get their creative juices flowing to their full potential. Preparation for the 21st century in terms of technology will most assuredly be needed. If we do not show the children how to do it now, this generation may be in for trouble.

You're correct that teachers must stay up-to-date. The advantage is that by being up-to-date we can find new ideas to help our students learn!
One note about your podcast... It would be better to embed it rather than send your readers to the Gabcast website. They would be less likely to be distracted.
