the pitfalls of over-reliance on technology and organization hierarchy in education

the rate of technological development is exceeding fast na' days.   but high tech gimmicks can be a crutch for educators, and reduce classroom human to human interaction.   plus all the stuff in those machines is mined by impoverished slaves and assembled in factory sweat shops like the Foxconn facility in China.   

stay human!   

I agree that the rate of technological development is exceeding. Almost too fast where the students or the teachers can keep up.

The technology that is current is a advantage and disadvantage, the students nowaday's rely to much on it and same with some teachers. So it is a win lose situation , we all need to be able to do things "old school" in case the tech stuff does'nt work.

It's true but we need to do our best to embrace the technology.  It can be used sucessfully to motivate students and to improve learning. 

I agree technology is advancing quickly but it is knowledge gained and learned.  We may not agree with how electronics are made but the question posed is do we use it in the classroom?  The answer is yes as necessary...to me everything in moderation.

We need to accept that the way we teach is changing based on real world demands.  I like to embrace technology where and when I can such as employing research on a question via the web as soon as a question comes up rather than just giving the answer.  When my students interact in this manner the information stays with them thanks to their own method of discovery.

I am personally just finding out wha my students are capeable of and basing it off that.Everyone is on different levels.

It is so very hard to keep up with technology of today.  It is very exciting all that is out to use in your classroom
