Technology is a huge part of education. Technology helps assist both the teacher and the student in the classroom.

For the last 20 years or so technology as grown to be an essential piece of our daily lives. Toddlers are being exposed to this epidemic as well as our grandparents. Technology is our current life but also our future.

The answer is, yes.
Our teachers are needing to be able to work with technology and incorporate it into their classroom and instruction. It is essential that all teachers are trained in this particular field to be better equipped for the modern day education field.

Hello Destiny! I agree that technology is a major part of education now. However, what are your personal thoughts about the inclusion of technology at such an early stage? You stated that toddlers have been exposed to some form of technology. What are your thoughts?
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you on how technology has grown to be a big piece of our daily lives. The toddlers and even older generation are so attached to technology that they can't live without it. That is why technology should be available in education but needs to be used properly and with caution because kids don't know how to use it properly at a young age.
