Accountability (Gains/Losses from Technology Integration

Technology Integration Ups and Downs 

                                                         
I chose to do my final project topic on the gains and losses from technology integration. I am very interested in the pros and cons of the uses of technology. Integrating technology in schools has been a hotly debated topic as technology advances further. Should technology become the main source or learning? What will happen to teachers jobs as we become more dependent on technology for our main source of information and communication? How far are we willing to incorporate technology into the daily lives of students? Does technology veer one away from growing into a well rounded person? Does technology encourage bad habits that could occur outside of the classroom? Does technology advance students thinking skills? Does technology exercise the mind in ways that are more efficient than a what person can do? These are all questions that I am curious about. Researching the gains and losses of technology could really benefit me when deciding how much technology I want to incorporate into my classroom. My goal is to create an environment that will allow the children to grow in ways where they discover the special light that they are. I feel technology dims the light making it harder for the children to see the most life fulfilling path they can go down.
