Teaching has always incorporated new technologies. The difference today is that there are so many new technologies being born almost every day that it is very difficult for teachers to keep pace with their main objective of teaching when at the same time, have themselves to keep updated! In this respect faculty professional development takes a new -completely new -meaning.
Not only one must be competent with these techniques but a balanced and profound prioritization has to take place. some teacher have decided to develop skills in one area and then stick to that area. For example some develop websites and do everything within that site. Others use blogs and incorporate it into their syllabus, many use the website provided by texbooks and in college most are using the platform provided by the college using course management systems such as WebCT, Blackboard, Moodle, and others.
These times will be very interesting and without a doubt profund changes will come.
