Lessons Learned

        My thoughts about technology and its use in curriculum are that its very important and children should know how to use it. With technology being such a part of everyday life it's crucial to have basic knowledge of its importance. My concerns about it is that technology and its speed keep becoming more available and faster to locate. With that anything can come whenever anyone wants and is accessible. I was also concerned to hear that students are having a disconnect between personal and school writing and that its a big issue. 
   Things I found interesting are that there is such great tools out their and I had no idea,for example The Ethics game created by the past supreme court justice. Math and reading are the two subjects that would benefit the most from learning technology. From one of the readings it said that a program called, Class Act Portal is a new way to use high speed 3g Internet to create learning that is real, rich, and relevant. In a other article it states that children stay engaged and on task longer when doing technology out of any subject.
