Classroom & Technology use

Throughout my primary and secondary years of education technology was used to a certain extent. Including the use of projectors, movies, typing papers, and going to the school lab to find resources on the internet. Other then that we would listen to the instructor.

The article points out how advances in technology that can be applied to an educational setting may take away from learning as kids more and more can use technology to cut corners. Since they have all these technologies at their fingertips.

The article points out how in japan students go through many grades before even being allowed to use a computer. while American students rely on computers more so.

When thinking about this topic I look at my baby brother he's has had access to a computer since he was born. He can type and use the internet ut since he has always had these resources his hand writing skills never developed. This has penalized him because in school writing is essential because not everyone has a computer and it is required to write to express answers at his grade level.

So if technology go as fars to become maybe the next perfect spell and grammar checker are you learning or has some computer already done the learning for you. I think between learning and technology lines must be defined so kid do not become dependent on the technology that was suppose to aid them in learning.
