When I began reading these articles, it was super overwhelming! I was simply thinking oh man this is a bunch of information to absorb! Then after taking some time and thinking about them it began to make sense! I felt like they were telling me that technology is a great thing, but make sure that you're still teaching and not using the technology to do the teaching!
There are so many great uses for technology in the classroom today! Some of which include smart boards, smart tables and the endless amount of sites online that are there to help! They are great supplemental resources, but they are not the teacher! I think it is very important to remember that! When I become a teacher I plan to take advantage of the technologies out there, but only use them as extra help! Online resources are great for home. In math Khan Academy can be a great supplemental online resource. If a student doesn't understand a concept and are at home they can look it up and get the help they need. There are amazing resources, but it can't be said enough, they aren't the teacher, we are!
