Synching up with the iKid and Adopt and Adapt are two articles that deal with using technology in the classroom. Essentially the idea is that technology is here and nothing can be done about it. The students that we will teach in school have grown up with technology and it is like they are hardwired differently than previous generations. There are people who want to stick to the old ways of teaching, but they have failed; using technology in new ways in schools has had some success. They are interesting articles to read. There are even people in the education field that have varying feelings on how technology should be used, whether it is having a totally wired (or wireless) classroom with no books to having just one computer and going from there. Maybe more technology is not the answer, but it appears to help students become more interested in school, and thats something to take note of.
