NetDay Results

I picture myself being a digital immigrant in today’s world. I think at first that I being a digital immigrant will hold me back, but once I get to use the equipment I will be able to fly ahead without hesitation. I really have never had to use a computer until I have come to college and seen that it is an important way to talk to peers and teachers. I am the kind of person that learns when you do something hands on a couple of times. I might not get it the first time, but I guarantee that I will be able to grasp the technology and will be effective when communicating to my students whether it is in a classroom or at home.

After reading the 37 pages on the NetDay Results I am aware that society today is very advanced and dependent on the constant use of technology in the classroom. I think that the older people are now the less they know about technology. It seems to me that children today are born with a cell phone in their hands. Whenever you see someone young now a day they have to have there life lines the cell phone or maybe an iPod. Children need technology to keep them entertained and they can’t function without it. I think that someday every class will have a computer for every student to use based on the fact that all students and teachers want this to be the case. I think that we can teach effectively without needing a computer for every student. If it comes down to the point where students need to use a computer then I believe that teachers should have student locks. This will stop them from playing games during class and things like that. I know this to be a problem because I see kids on a daily basis doing so in college classes even. I also go against the thought that students should be able to use a cell phone during a school day. We have a problem with student’s attention know as it is and that will only add to the problem. School is a place for learning and not a place for socializing. Overall, I think we will end up having too much technology in classrooms and then teaching will no longer be as effective as it is now and as it has been in the past!
