After finishing the discussion group with fellow class members, I now have a few more ideas and thoughts about the use if technology in the classroom. It is very interesting to get other's perspectives on a topic such as this.
From the discussion, it seems that teachers use various technologies to varying degrees in all sorts of classrooms; however, as we discussed, it seems that there needs to be a balance of the use of technology and traditional methods to allow students the opportunity to develop different types of skill sets.
One important point that came out of the discussion was the fact that teachers and students are not the only ones who need to be educated about technology, parents do too. In order for parents to embrace the concept of technology being used in the classroom for various reasons, they need to be educated about it and be able to understand the benefits of this sort of change in the delivery of education.
I truly enjoyed the discussion and look forward to setting up my own in the near future.
