Technology vs Tradition

I found this weeks reading very insightful as to how teachers can effectively incorporate technology into their classrooms. There are endless pros and cons to each scenario and the benefits are found in a balance somewhere between the two endpoints. Students are growing up in a world where they can individually access all of the information from technology that we can. The key becomes finding a place where it is appropriate and used correctly in the classroom to tie both their home/social life to that of school. Interviews for teachers now ask if they have experience with smart boards and colleges offer online classes and all work to be sent through an online system. It is a changing world as I sit here and type into my laptop which I can also access through my blackberry or ipod. And education must change with it. (In doses :) )
