technology and education

Submitted by Joj205 (guest) on Sat, 10/20/2007 - 3:25pm.

I think the idea of using technology in the classroom is an excellent way to engage students in learning. They are able to use a lot of different talents and strengths that wouldn't normally be found in a strictly-tradtional classroom. However, I think that some teachers may take this idea and exaggerate it to the point where is loses its effectiveness. The student-teacher realtionship is important to the classroom, it makes the information relate to the students on an individual level. Also, the teachers may go a little crazy adding too much stimulus and added-in features that the students won't be able to maintain focus on the lesson. The whole point of the lesson could easily be lost this way. Teachers have to be careful and find a good balance of technology in the classroom.
