My Beliefs

Before completing these readings I felt that technology was important but not as involved as it really is in life! Now I know how that there is this whole wide world of the interconnected web that needs to be brought into my future classroom. The world is growing and changing and that should be no different in the classroom, if we want our students to be able to compete with other countries we have to give them the tools they will need to succeed. I would love to have the most high-tec classroom out there! Every student has a laptop, and we are all connected to the never ending WWW. I know that with this comes new problems and issues of privacy but we have to keep moving with the flow of the world in order to keep evolving.Technology has taken over our simple world and now kindergartners have iphones and are able to do just as much on a computer as their parents. I believe that technology makes learning more dynamic and easier at times but also opens a can of worms that I will have to deal with. Life is so fast paced and kids don't just go out and play any more. Video games and texting are so much more fun, there are times when I wish things were so connected because I feel like our students are growing up so fast! They are losing the simplicity of life and becoming so materialized. There are so many children in this world who don't even have sufficient food and a school how is it that there are children that have 3 ipods, an xbox 360, 2 desktops in their house, and a cell phone. I don't see how it can be so unfair and yet I myself have a cell phone, laptop and an ipod and huge TV. I guess your beliefs are dictated by where you are in the Technological world and I know that mine will continue to grow and change as I do.
