I believe that technology is growing, especially, in
classrooms. Teachers can be seen using a promethean board, iPads, and laptops
with the students. However, some teachers currently are not using technology
the right way. An example was given that demonstrates an incorrect way to use
technology was that a teacher gave a digital worksheet to students so that they
can practice a certain skill over and over again. I thought there should be
another creative method to apply technology other than give digital worksheets
to students. There were various points that I agree with in the article like technology should
be for connecting. Technology should not limit social skills by isolating
students. Technology can be used to learn and teach others through interactive
drawings, images, blogs, videos, and digital portfolios. The correct yet fun
way to use technology should be implemented every day in classrooms. If we can
avoid the abuse of technology then children will be learning.
