I would have to say that I'm not that technogically savvy. The only time I use technology is when I'm playing my Wii my boyfriend just bought me, the Internet, Microsoft Word and Powerpoint. I do not usually use the computer unless I have to. From my dvd player that gets on my nerves sometimes to my gps I use in my car. Technology sometimes gives me an headache. It does not help that I'm not patient.
As for using technology in the classroom it is important that students are using it appropriately. It is also important that the teacher is well informed on the subject they are teaching and that it is clear for them to understand the topic. When using the powerpoints, make sure the notes are short and can be elaborated on. You should also maybe add pictures or videos to capture the students attention.
In my high school technology was rarely used so maybe that is the reason to why I have very strong views about not cooperating that much technology in the classroom. But I also have to realize that kids today are growing up in a world of technology. Myself as a teacher, has to be trained in the programs needed and be able to make sure the students understand and use the technology properly.
