I believe that technology is very important in schools today. In our world today we are faced with many different types of technologies many times a day. Whether we are dealing with cellphones, computers, T.V's, or microwaves, technology is used by everyone, everyday. I think it is important to teach our students how to use these technologies, if we don't they may have less opportunities the future. Technology has made everyday living very easy, however, we need to make sure we don't grow to dependent on technology.
Technology can make everyday tasks very simple and quick, and can be very useful in classrooms. Yet, I think technology should be used in the classroom to support the teacher, and not be used instead of the teacher. If teachers can incorporate different technologies into the lessons, I think the students will benefit greatly. In my opinion if we can balance the use of technology in the classroom with more traditional teaching methods, this will be the best learning environment for the students.

You definately brought up good points that a lot of people dont think of when discussing technology- that microwaves and tv are part of technology and used by everyone.
ReplyDeletei also agree that the teacher should use technology to support their lesson. That is why I have a hard time with some of the readings, because it seems like some may be trying to replace teachers and schools with computers. Balance is key
