Technologies in Class!?!

Since a couple of years, technology has been part of our life, want it or not. I confess that I am not a technology-lover but I cannot go without it. I need it for school; research, homework, etc. But do I want, as a future teacher, to teach my students by cellphones or Ipods? I don't think so. Even though I agree that the use of technology in class could encourage them to go to class I still think that the old handwritting way is the best. What if every students were learning how to "write" on their LapTop? What about the " caligraphy" way? More and more, our children can even produce a text without at least 20 mistakes, if it is not more! We are going into a "chat" movement, where the use of language is not a problem anymore. Just the other day, my little cousin and I were "chating" on MSN and she was making mistakes I never thought it was possible to do.

Do technology really is a salvation for us? Doesn't it make the world a bit more complicated (for teacher)?

It is not a salvation if we have to get updated every year with technology to follow our students. Yes we can try to contribute to their development by computers, but in a few years, they will know more about the subject than us, and the roles will be reversed!

Wow a blog!

Last night I had my first class of computer application, in which the teacher wanted us to create a blog. What!? A blog, what is exactly a blog! Oh, I see. You want me to post my whole life on the net so poeple can read about me... Yeah okay.



So there we go.



Welcome into my life, my adventures. Welcome into Stephanie's adventures!



I hope you will enjoy... Even though I have no freaking idea what to post here.
