Technology Education

I feel that technology education is very important in today’s world. More and more technology is be invented and used every day. For students today it is very important that they understand and know how to use basic technology. This means that students in elementary schools need to be introduced and taught how to use technology such as computers, computer programs, internet, cameras to name a few. Using technology to teach students in the classroom can help students learn and remember information much better.

I consider myself a digital native. I started using a computer when I was six or seven. I understand the basic technology and have a deeper understand in areas. The students that I will be teaching will be digital natives also. They will most likely be more proficient in the digital language than I was when I was their age. Because of this fact I think that it is very important that technology be included into many of the subject areas as possible.

You are so right Becky..
As a teacher and a mom, I realize my kids will never know a world where things are not on demand...right or wrong that is the world we live it...I know that I can have INSTANT access to information but more importantly people and resources that can help me to learn the tools so that I can effectively teach with them
