Having technology in a classroom is becoming a bigger need than it has been before. Students are being told to bring their technological devices to class instead of being put away. This is because students are more interested in education when technology is involved. More initiatives for technology are being put into place and some classrooms around the U.S. have a "one tablet per child" program where obviously each child receives one tablet to work with in the classroom. Teachers are encouraged that they need to adapt to this new learning environment fast because that is what the future of education holds. Teachers are encouraged to find new ways to use technology to teach.
This article is right on point on how I would want to teach my classroom if I had one right now. Using technology in a classroom definitely lets students have a little more opportunity to learn and be interested in their learning environment. The only speculations I have are what if a student uses the technology for things such as texting and Facebook instead of what I am teaching them. I feel like there needs to be a program in place to help with this issue by controlling what students can and cannot access in the classroom.
