Technology is very important to education. Children are exposed to education on a daily basis at home, it only makes sense that when they are at school, technology should play a part. Unfortunately, with public schools having limited bugets, it will be hard to keep up with the rapidly changing and improving technology. Schools could invest tons of money into Ipads for next year, and the following year those Ipads will be outdated. But outdated technology is better than none at all. I think schools are seeing that and making the investments where they can. It is also equally important, as this article mentioned, for teachers to keep up with technology and learn all about the uses for their classrooms. I am extremely glad that USM is making this class a requirement for my degree. I think it is important for future teachers to know how to use technology to benefit their future students.
