Education & Technology

         As I consider the use of technology in the classroom, I am a little apprehensive with the amount of exposure to the world of the internet accessible to children.   There are many available search engines which can result in harmful effects, if used improperly.
                    One the other hand, students enjoy using this fun, effective learning tool where there are     
           many opportunities for the acquisition of information and knowledge.  Communication is enhanced
          with different programs,  resulting  in student engagement.  For example, students can search and find
           information which can be used in group discussions. 
      This tool can be used across subjects to enhance the learning and engagement of students. 
                    Thought can be stimulated by the easy access to various programs.  Group work  and interaction is supported by immediate responses through e-mail, facebook, blogging, etc.
                     I am encouraged as I become more acquainted with technology, for I realize  more and more the benefits of using this stimulating and effective tool.
