Technology in the classroom opens up many new doors and gives the possibility of many opportunities that were previously unavailable. ]]> 2017-04-18 21:43:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jstroud3/lsdo2s3su4vi/wish/166890350 jstroud3 https://padlet.com/jstroud3/lsdo2s3su4vi/wish/166890557 These different software, hardware, applications, etc.. are making life easier to live and jobs easier to do. An issue though, arises when you have too much of anything. In this case there is an overload of different software that can become available for people to use, each specializing in a different part or a specific aspect of a process. Each is individualized and does some things better than others. This is a good thing if you are looking for a specific program to do a specific thing but what if there is an imbalance between the virtual and the real life?]]> 2017-04-18 21:45:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jstroud3/lsdo2s3su4vi/wish/166890557 jstroud3 https://padlet.com/jstroud3/lsdo2s3su4vi/wish/166891199 In the assignment description you asked for a title that tells our opinion about technology in the classroom.  My opinion is that technology has a place in the classroom, but I feel like it should be extremely limited. ]]> 2017-04-18 21:53:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jstroud3/lsdo2s3su4vi/wish/166891199 jstroud3 https://padlet.com/jstroud3/lsdo2s3su4vi/wish/166891487 In children's lives today there is an ample amount of time that can e devoted to sitting and watching a screen. This can be done at home, during their personal time, you name it, but there needs to be a time that those screens shut off and the devises power down. There needs to be a sanctuary from the electronic world. In the absence of a reliable alternative that children can retreat to the classroom is another viable option.]]> 2017-04-18 21:56:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jstroud3/lsdo2s3su4vi/wish/166891487 jstroud3 https://padlet.com/jstroud3/lsdo2s3su4vi/wish/166891856 Now while it may sound that I am vehemently anti technology, I really am not. I use my phone too much just like the majority of the people around me and I know that there are negatives that come out of that. I feel as if technology in the classroom has a time and a place. One example of technology that I believe is good in the classroom is the use of electronic resources such as dictionaries and thesauruses. Interactive whiteboards are another.  ]]> 2017-04-18 22:00:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jstroud3/lsdo2s3su4vi/wish/166891856 jstroud3 https://padlet.com/jstroud3/lsdo2s3su4vi/wish/166892234 Although it was not the assignment to make a "Mini Essay" I felt as if I had a unique point of view that I needed to communicate.
