TWIN FALLS * Education technology professor Dave Makings has seen the way technology has evolved during his time at the College of Southern Idaho. He introduces his education students - the next generation of teachers - to some of the gadgets and programs they may see in their future classrooms, such as online course management systems and iPads.

The Times asked teachers to submit videos on how the use of technology has changed the way they teach.

Students from Woodside High discuss their relationship to technology.

Really interesting to see where this originated from and how it has changed for today's generation.
