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!
