Technology Trends

  Technology moves at such a fast rate that it almost frustrates me. I think that I have gotten the latest version of something when the new version comes out shortly after. It is also amazing how kids now catch on so quickly on how to operate things. My family didn't get a computer until I was 15.  I was instantly addicted and ended up teaching my mom how to use it. Now my younger brother shows me how to use things. 
I think that technology is a great resource for the classroom as long as it assists the teacher in teaching. I really don't like the idea of online classes. I think that students need that face to face interaction along with the use of technology. But with all the advancements that have been made I am thankful to be teaching in this age. I think that the use of technology can make lessons and lectures a lot interesting.

Great ideas here! I agree, technology needs to assist the teacher in teaching, not just be a "cool" factor. Nice work.
