What place does technology have in the classroom? I think that, whether we like it or not, in a world where technology is becoming more and more important, teaching technology should become more and more of a priority. When our kids get out into the real world, they need to be able to know how to use a computer or other basic skills that are becoming necessary for everyday life. And when it comes to using technology in the classroom as a tool for learning, I think it's a great idea. Technology can enhance the learning process in many ways. First, things like blogs and websites can enhance parent-teacher and student-teacher communication, something that is too often overlooked. Technology can be used to give kids examples to listen to at home for music classes. Interactive math drills can be found on the internet. The number of great resources on the internet is vast. My only hope is that kids don't get hooked on technology and start using it as a crutch. I hope kids can spell without spell-check and go to the library and look up a book for a research project, rather than just typing the subject into Google, although both these tools, when used right, are much more helpful than they are harmful.
