Should a teacher use technology in the classroom? I believe that the answer to that question is YES! Why would a teacher want to deprive their students of one of the greatest parts of our world?! Technology is something that helps us as human beings to be connected to not only our community around us but also the entire world!
Technology in the classroom also gives a much larger spectrum as to what and how the teacher can teach the class. I have heard of classes being able to talk to classes from China, now when has anyone been able to talk to other students from around the world?! I think this is one of the greatest things that we can give our students, the ability to experience things that we, as adults were unable to have. Smart boards are also really great piece of technology, they allow teachers to show things on the board in color that overheads can't, smart boards are also great because they are interactive and give the teacher and the students the ability to not only see what they are being taught, but also be able to touch and do what they are learning.
I know in my classroom I will readily welcome technology in my classroom, but I will also teach my students the importance of grammar and spelling. The technology world has different expectations when it comes to spelling and grammar it is important for not just my students but also adults to know that correct spelling and grammar is still a very important part of our world today.
