Hi,
My name is Payton Barnes. I am a junior majoring in Elementary Education.
I think technology is fascinating. It has improved our society tremendously, and I think it's going to keep improving in the future. I'm actually pretty bad with new technology and being able to use it correctly. I finally got an IPOD touch about two months ago, and I am still trying to figure everything out. It's bad.
For teachers, I think the use of technology will be very useful. It provides a quick way for communication. It also provides a way to enhance the classroom learning through interactive websites and blogging. However, I think that technology can be enforced too much and it can take away from actual teaching lectures. If students use technology for everything and rely on computers for notes and what not, what is the point of me being a teacher?

Payton, hopefully you'll learn some things in this class that can help you with your technology skills. Also, I agree that technology is sometimes pushed too much. Also, remember that "teaching" does not necessarily mean "lectures". Oh, and I still don't have a IPod touch, so I am very behind.
