Technology certainly spears education at all levels! Sometimes that technology is beneficial, and sometimes it isn't. I know some teachers in my building very much like utilizing the technology our district offers them, while others want to run the other way! I see most technology as a time saver, fun to utilize and stimulating to my students. I am excited to use it daily, and I am not afraid to try new things!
Recently, our district's school board and school administration made a new goal to utilize more technology to assist in driving instruction! I am so excited about this. My administrator approached me about a SMART Board and an ELMO, and I couldn't be more excited! Other teachers cringed when they heard of the goal! They feel like it is a waste of time, and their "old" ways of doing things are much more efficient and effective. I feel like this attitude put students at a disadvantage! Technology isn't going anyhwere -- why not expose students to what their futures entail, while at the same time making learning engaging and new!
