Technology has changed the way in which teachers take lessons, there is a lot more interactive learning with the development of technology. Ahead Program (2009) mentions some of these skills, as identified by The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) that will help students to work and live in the twenty-first century. The skills include conducting independent research, thinking critically, solving problems, using technology to communicate and collaborate, and understanding societal issues related to digital citizenship. Knowing that this is the direction in which education is moving would incorporate technology into their classes or into the students learning.
It would be hard to incorporate technology into one of my acting classes as the classes normally take place in rehearsal rooms, studios and theatre spaces which are more open and there are no laptops or technology within the rooms. To incorporate technology into the lessons, I would book out a computer lab for my lessons and for the students, or a classroom with an interactive whiteboard. For example, some use an interactive whiteboard only to project content while others use the board to support interactive student inquiry processes (Hall, 2010).
It would also be helpful to get scripts on phones and be able to highlight them instead of having them on paper, therefore students would constantly have their scripts as when they have paper scripts they can forget them.
