Subject: Syncing up eith the iKid

The development of technology is definitely having an impact on the classroom. When you have a generation of kids who are practically raised by media, it becomes difficult to adhere to those old standards of lecture and whatnot. Whether it be for the better or for the worse, kids demand that we not only hold their attention but that we incorporate technology into the classroom. There are many debates over whether developing technology is a good or an evil, but I think it is both. Technology can convey a message better than a lecture, capture students' attention, and streamline learning. On the same hand, reading has taken a big hit because of technology. Kids today do not read, because thy do not have to. They can get the same information from the internet or on TV as they can from a book. Technology is crucial to learning and teaching, but it should be used as a tool and not as the backbone of the curriculum.
