C4T Summary 3

This week I was assigned to read Mr. Jerrid Kruse's blog post, he talked about how technology is taking over the classroom. In this blog post Mr. Kruse talks about how technology has taken over the classroom and is there really a need for a teacher? While he does raise very good points, I commented that teachers will always be needed in the classroom because students will always have questions or need guidance, and have questions.

While reading Mr. Kruse's older blog "Critical Curiosity" he talks about how his students were really shocked by how much he allowed them to use sorts of technology. He ask the students how technology can bring back traditional ways of the classroom as well as reduce the intellectual level of the classroom. This was my reply, Technology can be a good and bad thing in class rooms today. A lot of it depends on the type of students you're teaching. If students cant stay on task then they shouldn't be allowed to use the internet. But on a positive not the internet is full of endless options to be used for students who can handle the privilege.
