Use of Technology

Technology in education is very important because of many reasons.  I think its important because of the power that it has in the hearts and lives of our culture as a whole.  Technology shows us how much more we can get accomplished as well as we correspond between one another on blogs.  Technology allows thoughts to be written down with-out being rushed.  The students can be diligent at nights, evenings or morning when their schedules workout to put good effort toward computer assignments.  Smart-boards allow games to be played on them as a class.  In my experience I have loved smart-board use in classes because the class loves to play educational history guessing games as we go through the notes in my practicum experience.  Short movie clips have helped to enhance my interests into history in high school as well.  I love to use online blogs because you can make posts and reply to others intellectually.  I think that technology is important also to keep students attention when we do not just not trust our students in the classroom but rather use technology to be used so that trust is given and allow the students to ruin the use of even cell phones by them-self.  Technology in education is a must.  We need to use it however we need to teach critical thinking with it.  We need to make sure our objectives are being met as teachers with using technology and that technology is not the main objective itself.
