Lessons Learned

Something that I have learned from the readings is that this new world wide web, people are calling it whatever, whenever and wherever. Offering us whatever we want, whenever and wherever we want it. Such a wireless stream of media gratification is actually a radical departure from typical human experience. And as tantalizing as this ready access to our hearts desires may be, it creates great challenges for our children.

This access of technology can be such a great thing for teachers, giving their students the ability to take tests easier, letting students be able to use computers in the classroom instead of the teacher having to schedule the computer room, and giving the teachers the ability to teach in a easier, more fun approach to learning.

Yet having all of this technology so readily available is something that has almost ruined our students, they are so used to shortening words, using acronyms instead of full sentences that students aren't learning correct grammar, or when they do they just forget it, knowing that they can just shorten words to write to their friends or when writing emails. Teachers need to be teaching students the importance of keeping correct grammar as well as the importance of technology.
