Thing #5

As technology continues to advance and spread further the more it is seen in schools, and homes. The more people that use technology help to continue its spread. And today more schools are turning to these emerging  technologies for their staff and students. Students are beginning to use I-pads in the classroom and even laptops for learning. And while I can see the ease of having books on an I-pad or even learning Apps, but at the same time students are not at school to play video games. School 2.0 to me means more kids using technology and less focus is being put on the actual teaching methods. For me I think that too much technology can actually hinder the teaching process. Whats to say your students are actually paying attention to the lesson that you are teaching. Its hard enough with video games to get students to do their homework and now we are giving them a reason to not pay attention in school. If we aren't careful with the amount of technology being put in schools one day all students will have to do is bring up a video of  the lesson on a screen and hit play. Teachers could one day become obsolete in place of a master computer.
