As a teacher specializing in preparing students for the General Republic Testing in my country, I primarily work with 11th and 12th-grade high school students. Although it has only been five years since I completed my own school education, I have noticed significant changes in the nature of education. These changes are driven largely by advances in technology and the evolving characteristics of new generations.

While my teaching experience is relatively short, I bring the perspective of someone who spent 16 years as a student. This dual lens—both as a teacher and a learner—allows me to connect my observations and experiences to better understand the educational landscape.

One of the most impactful realizations I’ve had comes from this course. The videos and materials have helped me gain a deeper understanding of my students' needs. Previously, I struggled to fully grasp what motivated them or what they required to succeed. Now, I better understand that education today must meet students where they are—both in terms of technology and their preferred ways of learning.

I fully agree that teachers in the 21st century must embrace technology and incorporate it effectively into their lessons. Students today are used to fast, engaging content on social media, where videos and posts last only 2-3 minutes. If they find something uninteresting, they can simply scroll away. The same principle applies to education—our lessons must be dynamic, interactive, and engaging, or we risk losing their attention.

To address this, I have started using game-style tests and interactive activities in my classes. These methods make lessons more enjoyable and engaging for students, helping them stay focused while still achieving learning goals. As a young teacher, I see it as my responsibility to integrate technology into my teaching to make education relevant and effective.

Reflecting on these changes, I’ve come to realize that the role of a teacher today goes beyond simply delivering content. It involves understanding students' preferences, adapting to their learning styles, and leveraging technology to create meaningful, impactful lessons. This journey has taught me that education in the modern world is as much about creativity and connection as it is about knowledge delivery.
