I found this video on YouTube. I thought that it really touched the technology topic really well. I never really thought that technology was used in school as much as it is. Although we always had computers in class, that was about as far as technology went. When I think of technology moving along I don't think about it reaching schools. School to me was a board where the teacher wrote and if you had a project you get sent to the library to work on it. Today kids have the computers right there in class. That is if they didn't bring one from home. I believe that this makes class easier. In the video I chose they talk about using interactive boards. Where the student gets allowed to be on the board like the teacher. That's pretty impressive. Most children are hands on, and I would think that using a board like that would be easier to understand. Rather than just listening to the teacher talk.
I've only been out of high school for 2 years and already things have changed. I know I had Google when I was in school, I also had the Internet. When I wrote research papers in school Wikipedia was not a credible source. I started college and one of my text books cited Wikipedia. I'm not saying we had it so easy. The generation before us may not have even had calculators. It's just different than what I knew. But I firmly believe that technology in school is a really good thing and will help more kid succeed.
