My Beliefs

I feel that technology in the classroom can be used for the good. More and more students are learning better from hands on use. They are able to more fully understand what it is that they are learning. We however need to be careful that we do not let the students take advantage of the technology. We need to be aware that technology has many malfunctions and that we cannot handicap ourselves with it. We need to still be able to know how to do everything the "old fashion way." I used to hate how our math teachers used to make us show all our work even when we had a calculator that could do the work.

With that we need to make sure our students know the reason of knowing things the "old fashion way" but also know how to use all the technology to their advantage. I think that if all the technology is coming out to everyone and all our students are using them, we should take advantage of teaching how to use the technology properly. We can help to have our students enjoy everything they are learning and want to be at school. With the new technologies the students would hate to miss school because they would be missing out on all the fun in learning. They would be like elementary students again and hate missing school because of all the fun activities they would be doing.
