Educational Shifts
The Open Content shift will have the greatest impact on my teaching. Most of the content taught in my classroom consists of technology, computer concepts and application software. With the capability to modify and upload assignments and activities with Moodle, there will be less of a need for textbooks. Since technology is constantly changing, in many cases the textbooks are outdated in a very short period of time.
As a teacher with a computer lab, the technology is available to facilitate the shifts brought about by the read/write web. One of the major challenges with the shifts will be making the technology available to the students in all settings.

Due to the large and ever increasing expense of textbooks, I can see many districts opting for other options for some of their textbook needs. Your department sounds like you have up-to-date equipment and the district's support to keep current. What a support that would be!
