I believe that it is really important to teach technology to our students. Students in this generation are at a completely different level then any other group of students before them, they have always been exposed to technology from even before birth. Students have music played even before coming to this world, and their own computers by the time they are toddlers. Being a teacher to these students we need to accommodate to there needs which means that we have to teach technology to them. If you don't they will be board and as a teacher you will lose them more quickly if you don't teach them in a manner that they will listen to.
I believe that using technology enhances your lessons. Taking your students on a virtual tour of the pyramids so they can see how they are actually laid out will teach them so much more then just trying to describe it to them. When having you lessons enhanced by technology it allows you to increase there ability to see, hear and learn the lessons that you want to know. Having all of those senses stimulated helps the student take the information and ingrain that into their memory.
I am glad that as a student I have had the opportunity to have this class to teach me different uses of technology that I can use in the classroom. I know I will be a better teacher because of it.
