First Thoughts of Technology in the Classroom

Technology in the classroom can be a good thing, but it can also be a not so good thing. On the plus side, it can help students for the future and make them more profitable for a good job. Students and Teachers usually like to stay up to date. The down side is that technology costs a lot of money, and if there are a lot of students who do not have food at home, feeding them is more important than being up to date on technology. Technology can sometimes require teachers to get training which takes time and money. Students might not be good in spelling if they all have i-pads. One of my fellow teacher assistant friends said that all her students have an i-pad in the classroom and it auto-corrects their spelling, therefore the all do really bad on their spelling test each time they take one.

Here is a link to another blog that talks about the good and the bad of technology:
