Reflection #3

One of the main challanges for me when it comes to studying Technology in education is finding the right ballance between using the new technologies with teaching or using the older non technological methods. I find myself really believing that technology enhances the student's learning. It is very important that the basics of education are not lost. Studies have been done to find that students really enjoy using technology and learning from technology because their generation can better relate to it. As we all know, technology has really taken over the 21st century. But, studies have also shown that when kids watch television and play video games it tends to bring on a less healthy lifestyle. Technology also can bring a bit of negative influence when the kids use it so much because people are now becoming less personal and real when they rely on technology so much. I think the bottom line is that technology is a great tool to use, but it should not be used at all times, it should be used to enhance learning, not to replace it.
