Technology has brought a sense of congregation to a world so vast and abundant. Our elders profess that technology has caused more of a distraction in our educational environment than enhance it. However are they at our school witnessing how we use technology for themselves? The phone bill may show that the data is used profusely at school, and show an influx of texts but that doesn't mean we aren't utilizing technology effectively. The text could be a warning of the test that's coming next block or just a friendly mingle between two people, but ultimately technology is there to fill that gap when everything else seems lame.
One gap that I can personally vouch for is the one I feel in Marine Science; A lot of the scientific terms that are used, are completely new to me (and the majority of my classmates) so sometimes I feel kind of left behind. However, because technology has created soapy sources of information available, such as google or the curriculum's textbook, anything I don't understand in class, I could just look up on the Internet. Scenarios like these have become routine; other classes I utilize the Internet for are for AP English and especially Thinking Skills.............
In all seriousness, I am not sure if I would be doing so well academically if I didn't have my second teacher: technology.
I agree, technology has become a second teacher for our kids. Once again a lot of big words :p
ReplyDeleteHahaha... I would be lying to you if I said I hadn't spent a good time behind my laptop in Mr. Monty's class googling the stuff he says in attempt to make of it all.
ReplyDeleteHuh... Googling stuff for other classes... I wonder why I don't do that during classes... That's a smart idea!
ReplyDeletetotally agree, Technology has way more pros than cons.
