While exploring your blog there were two articles that caught my attention. The first was the article about the organization ISTE and the effort that it is putting forth to raise awareness of the importance of educational technology classes. I myself am not a big technology person. Do I appreciate my cell phone and computer? Yes of course, but there are times when I just want to take a break from them. However, reading this article I realized that despite the fact that technology is not something I am particularly fond of, it is something that our students need to be knowledgeable about in order to survive in our society today.
The second article that I found very interesting was 180 degrees different from the first article I viewed. It was the article about the classroom that went back to 1983 by limiting technology that students could use. It was interesting to see that despite how much our society loves technology-especially younger generations- people can live without it and actually enjoyed being high tech free. The difference in these two articles made me realize that maybe there needs to be a balance in the classroom between high technology use and limited technology use. It is definitely something to consider as I start to enter the education field.
