BLUE GROUP

Technology can be beneficial, creating vibrant and easy exercises in the classroom. It can also help keep the teacher organized and assist them with problems in grades, attendance, etc.. However, as I have just learned, technology can be a hassle and what has happened this weekend is a perfect example of the folly of hi-tech. 
First off, I had my cell phone alarm set for 8:30 am yesterday morning to wake me up for work. This is how I wake up, I set the alarm on my cell and the ringtone is loud enough to wake me from my slumber. Well, as it turns out, a minute detail went awry. Instead of there being a tiny little "am" next to 8:30, I learned after waking up on my own accord that for some reason the time was set for 8:30 pm. Great, now I'm late for work. I work all day and come home to go right to sleep (forgetting, once again, to set my alarm). So here I am, 10 am on a Sunday morning and I have yet to post my blog. I try and I try, but for some reason this blogger website would not respond to my commands. I could post a comment, no problem. But it seems like every time I click the link to post the blog (it took me 20 minutes to find the link itself) the page refused to load. Now, I'm a patient guy, but I know we all hate this. We're spoiled on high-speed internet and whenever anything goes a second slower it can be very frustrating.
That said, I'm finally posting my blog and as far as a high-tech classroom is concerned, I think I'd rather just stick with books, a blackboard, and attentive students.

  1. I have had that same problem before, I thought my alarm was "am" but instead "pm", causing you to be late for school or work. In some occasions, I kind of do prefer the blackboard and books because its easier and comfortable for the majority of teachers and students.
