Critical Issue: Technology: A Catalyst for Teaching and Learning in the Classroom

Today technology is becoming more widespread and more integrated in our lives. Nowadays you can't go anywhere without running into some kind of computer or other technological device. This can put a strain on students because the information we are teaching them is getting more and more vast by the year. That is why teachers have to also use technology in the class room, because those not taught how to use or integrate with technology are at a major disadvantage when they grow up.

We are currently living in a world of information overload, an overload created by technology (mainly the internet and computers).Hopefully teachers can teach their students how to access and understand this information. Teachers need to incorporate technology into their teaching in order to create students that can survive in the world of tomorrow. This can be very hard due to the fact that the rate at which technology is changing is increasing exponentially with every passing day.

  2. I liked your slide "Stress on Teachers." My father is a teacher and I have had the opportunity to experience the stresses he is put under first hand. Especially with standardized tests there is no room for traditional education, only preparation for the test.
