Though out
this class I have realized how influential technology can be in the classroom
and how so many people have different opinions on why it is a good thing to
move towards or a bad thing. Personally I want to teach kindergarten and I believe
that technology should not be a main part of the curriculum for teaching them because
they are so young. Kids today already have so much technology surrounding them
that they should not be forced into interacting with more at such a young age. Kindergarten
is where they need to learn the fundamentals of reading and math without the
help of technology. They should learn how to do things on their own before
having technology there to help them. Technology can help make a kid become focused on an activity but it can also cause them to become distracted too. I do plan on using technology to help my
class with programs I learned in EDST 220. I really enjoyed learning how to
make a classroom newsletter and I know that will come in use when I become a
teacher myself. There was many new programs introduced to me that I never even
knew about that could really help me later on. I really did enjoy EDST 220 and
feel like I learned a lot about technology to better help me in the classroom.
