Technology in Education Thoughts

There are many different opinions from educators on how to handle teaching technology to our students. Some teachers feel that students know technology so we should not be teaching it. Other teachers feel students don't know how to use technology for anything else other than socializing. There are many different types of ways to implement technology into the classroom. Is it really worth it? Well I personally feel it depends on the way the technology is used. Obvious right? Here is the comment I never hear educators say. "Technology is such a new idea in education, no one really knows what is the best way is to use technology. We are all just trying to figure things out." It seems like everyone has a strong opinion on what, how, and why we use technology in education. I feel that technology is advancing so fast and it is so new that no one can really predict the implications of technology in education. One thing is definitely for sure. We do need technology in education, so lets as educators keep trying to figure out how it should be used in education.
