Technology and Education
Technology is an absolute necessity... in everday life, but more importantly within the classroom. We live in a time where technology is the cornerstone of everything from paying bills online, to checking our bank statements, and to an automated phone service, technology is cpnstantly moving forward and in order for our children/students to be as knowledgeable, we must move along with technology within the classroom as well. Technology is as important as anything else that is taught within the classroom and we should look for more ways to incorporate technology as an everday occurance, as opposed to using it as a motivator or saved for "special projects." Do not turn away from technology, embrace it and try to incorporate it in every lesson, it may be the one student on the back that surprises you the most that succeeds with technology.

Lisa,
ReplyDeleteYou are right techonology has made its way into facet of our lives. Even in some ways we donot even think about. The question I come across from a lot of teachers is how they can incorporate technology into their lesson plans and still cover all the material they need to cover. Unfortunately, alot of teachers think they are two seperate entities. I think we need to show other teachers that it needs to invade the classroom as it has our everyday lives.
