Technology is something that has had a enormous effect on our planet. Without technology and the things we use daily, we'd be in an completely different world. Those things consist of computers, tablets, cell phones etc. This ever growing technology is also becoming more prevalent in the classroom and being used more with its routine activities. By now most teachers in the class room have gotten used to this and to those who haven't are behind.
If I was to have a class room we'd always use technology to speed things along because that's what it's meant to do and that's whats going to be in our face. If a teacher in their classroom hasn't gotten technological advances like a smart board or project at the top of the room, they'd be behind by at least a decade or more. The learning style would be way slower and possibly less effective but that's how technology is now days especially with classes. If we didn't have the technological advances that we have right now, I wouldn't even be able to complete this blog post and instead would be writing on paper which would be more strenuous.
The generation we live in which is considered to be "digital natives" is completely true. There's no doubting that this generation of kids are way more into technology than the ones before. Children now days at very young ages know how to use iPod, tablets and anything alike without any trouble while older people have the worse time adapting. As time goes on technology will continue to become more rapid and expansive with its uses. I can only hope people will embrace and adapt it and not get left behind because its in our future.
Can you be more specific about technology in the classroom?
ReplyDeleteInteresting comment that as technology flourishes, more people may be left behind. Very possible!
