Technology in School

Technology in school......why not! That a good way to open people's minds and to make them discover new thing. With internet there is thousands and thousands of websites about whatever people wants. However, technology is not always good, in fact I believe that it is not everyone who has access to I pods, cell phones, computers at home. I'm not living in a poor city, but I know children and teenagers who do not have access to those things. It might be hard to believe, but that is true.

It might be possible to teach and use lot of technology, but I do not think that using only technology is the best way to teach. If you are a good teacher and you involve yourself in your students’ activities, if you have imagination and find a way to entertain them and teach them, you will reach them. I do not think that , because a teacher use technology the students will like him or her more than the one who is able to teach them with activities they like. Maybe technology takes too much space in their life, but they are still doing other activities, like sports, hanging out with friends, shopping and much more. Therefore, using technology is not the only to reach the students.

Moreover, there are so many in-class activities that do not require technology to do like discussion, plays, games and more. As long as they like what they do the students will like the teacher. I remember one teacher that was young and funny and he knew what activities we liked, because he asked us what kind of activities we wanted to do. He was not using computer or any technological devices to reach us; he was just paying attention to our desire and needs.
Therefore, I think that as teachers, we may use technology in our classes, but that is not the only way to make the students feel involve and to make them like a class.
