Reflection #11

What: The role that technology in starting to play in our classrooms
So what: I recently read an article called "Effects of Technology on classrooms and Students" and it was talking about how technology is forcing kids in our classroom to take a more active role in their education. They are required to make more decisions and are often times required to participate more with technology. Teacher roles are changing as well since they are no longer the center of attention when technology is used.
Technology also enable our students to accomplish more complex tasks then they used to be able to do.
Now What: I think we just need to be aware of how how technology is affecting us and our students. We need to understand that it is a good thing when used right, but it can also turn into a bad thing if used wrong or too much.
