I think that we need to incorporate technology into all levels of education. If our true goal is to give our students tools and knowledge that they need to be productive citizens then technology is a must. It also makes learning real to them and fun. Students enjoy using a smart board whether to do a algebra problem or drawing a triangle. By using technology we can put students in real life situations and have them use resources to solve problems. In the old school it was memorize everything, which I do believe there are things that need to be memorize, but we also must teach our students how to use resources and find out information. As a teacher the resources are unlimited when you get on the world wide web. Someone would be crazy not to tap into the unlimited information on the web. Yes technology has change education, from the way we assess, to the way we report grades to parents, to the way instruction is give, and to the way students respond. It is all very exciting I think.
