As teachnology advances, it becomes more prominant in the classroom. This proposes the question, Should children be exposed to teachnolgy in the classroom?
This has been a debated topic for quite some time now, and my assessement of it is that we do need technology in the classroom. As knowledge becomes more readily available to the general public through the use of mobile devices and internet children should have exposure to what type of knowledge they can access. In and article from the New York Times stated "The digital push here aims to go far beyond gadgets to transform the very nature of the classroom, turning the teacher into a guide instead of a lecturer, wandering among students who learn at their own pace on Internet-connected devices." As a teacher I think it is important to adapt to the ever changing teachering-world". I feel that although some of the tests do no show a major increase in the test scores, it is still a learning process for everyone. The studetns, the teachers, and technology companies are all striving to better delopments in the software and devices themselves. The type of knowledge that they will be gaining will better the students for the their future where without a doubt there will be much more uses of teachnology in terms of jobs and general life.
