Article on Technology in the Classroom

This article explains how the need to integrate technology into the classroom, and how the need for it is becoming more and more of a necessity in schools.  As we grow more and more dependent on technology, to keep our students more attentive in class, we have to use more Web2.0 tools, and Smart technology with IPads, that both we as teachers and the students as well will have learning curves and benefit greatly.  It also discusses the proposal to integrate online courses being the only courses by the year 2014, which could be beneficial, but it would also mean another giant learning curve for teachers in society.

As much as technology helps in our current society, it also seems to become more and more controlling of us.  We use it for some of the simplest tasks, and it almost feels like we are getting lost in the process.  That’s what I think about it anyways.  I’m all for using technology to teach, but I would never want it to take over my classroom completely.
