I think technology can be used as a great tool to enhance student learning in the classroom. However, I am both technologically impaired and old-fashioned. The idea of using a lot of technology in my classroom when I become a teacher worries me, especially because I plan on teaching young children. I read about an elementary school teacher who did not allow any handwriting in his class; everything was to be typed. His doing away with handwritten work, to me seems to put his students at a disadvantage. I recognize that in today's world technology is ever-evolving, and children now-a-days are quite tech savvy, but I worry that over-using technology in class puts students at a disadvantage. I hope to learn to use technology in class in a way that enhances learning.
