What I have learned about technology in education:

I have learned that technology can be very useful education. There are various instances in which it can be used, such as games, powerpoints, videos, and other things that can be incorporated into the classroom. I think that a lot of the stuff suggested can be very useful to students because they have the resources at their fingertips during presentations, as they are able to use them to look up information, do presentations, or as supplemental information to a lesson that is being taught in class.


What are the major issues to be considered:

I think that a lot of the stuff that's useful for classroom management can be used in the classroom only if it's used wisely- that said, I think that the students need guidance when they use it, because it can be misused. Also, there are millions of ways that students could get around doing their own work and plagerize from other people. Things like sparknotes, wikipedia, etc. should not be used for works cited purposes, but just reference tools. They are also at risk to cheat and find things that may not necessarily lead them to the correct answers they should be finding.
