"It's Not About the Technology" by Kelly Hines

I agree with Ms. Hines that is takes an effective teaher thats willing to continue to learn in order to be effecctive in the classroom. Technology is just a tool that can be used to enhance the learning atmosphere. The ipod, wiki, and blogs should be viewed as an addition to the education process. It is not the total process. Teachers should be trained to incorporate these technology advancement into their lessons not as a substitue for teaching but as an ongoing process for education their class on successful uses of technology as part of their education experience

Technology has made several transition throughout the years.I suspect as the 21st century continues from year to year there are more developments being made that will become part of the education process. It will forever be changing. Yesterday advancement will be oboselte as I type.

Students should be expose to technology in classroom as a part of their learing experience. It should not viewed as a tool for only surfing the web or playing games but as a tool to expand on their educational advancement. Technology can be used in every dimension of the classroom. The teacher can incorporate technology in every subject. It can used an interactive tool to allow the kids to become involve in their learning process. Technology should never be viewed as a substitue for effective teaching but as an addition to a process that is forever changing.
