Technology is a very important aspect of education today. It is something that we deal with everyday of our life. It is important that we learn how to use it for educational reasons because it comes up in everyday life. Technology is now used for everyday tasks, such as e-mailing, research, and projects. There are many pros and cons to technology.
Technology is a very fast and easy way to gather information, and communicate with people. Technology can be very helpful in the classrooms when it is used in the right manner. I have been in classrooms where teachers have just read off of the power points, and I never quite understood what the purpose of that was. I do not think that the entire class should be based on technology because I believe that that the defeats the purpose of having a teacher. However, if a teacher can use power point, and other electronics for educational purposes in the right way then I believe that that is the most useful because that is what students today are used to.
I, myself try to stay up to date with technology because I believe it is a very important part of our everyday life.

Jessica, I totally agree with you. I hate classes where teachers rely too much on technology and the material of the course ends up suffering. It's draining when classes get held up because of technology issues too.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I feel like when teachers have a power point that they're just reading off of,they don't realize how fast they're going and you don't have enough time to take notes.
Hopefully this class will teach us how use technology to add to our future classrooms. Learning that balance will be really important.
