Technology and Children

Technology has been an amazing tool and seems to be improving year after year.  If i had what children today have it probably would have made my parents life a bit easier.  Like I've said before we are no longer  depended on people to help us understand a certain subject matter.  We now have the wonderful advantage of the World Wide Web.  Sure we all have problems with computers and they will always have glitches but over all they do nothing but help people with anything from fixing a car to getting help with a math problem.  Children today are advancing more than ever.  They are able to be confident and learn at their own pace.
    As a future educator I would never have a second thought about incorporating as much technology as possible in order for my students to understand and learn the material that is being taught.  I feel that the educators to are comfortable with the "Traditional" method of teaching are being selfish and unfair to their students, which leads me back to Dr. Suess -The Zax.  Sure, nobody likes change, but think about where we would be if we never changed and adapted!
