Technology in the classroom is a complicated issue. My main belief is that technology should only be used to enhance a lesson. 1:1 is great, but it should not be used to make a school look better. How a school uses technology is more important to me than what technology they actually have. I have known many schools that are 1:1, that do not use their technology effectively.
I believe technology enables us to do so many things that are either more difficult or impossible otherwise. Social Media opens up a whole new world that allows us to learn and communicate with others all over the globe.
Technology is an important part of our society and its influence is only going to grow. It is vital that our students learn how to properly use social media and technology in general.
Technology in the classroom is important, but it is important that students learn how to use technology responsibly and that technology is use for beneficial reasons. Technology for technology sake in my opinion is a waste of money.
