After reading the Huffington Post article titled, "Five Ways to Bring Technology into the Classroom without Gadgets", it made me think. While I do believe it is true that technology doesn't need to be in place in every aspect of our lives, it is an important tool for children to learn and use in today's world. Children are growing up in a world where technology is advancing everyday. I am completely aware that my children are not familiar with things such as a VCR, a camera that they cannot instantly see the picture on a screen, or a cell phone that does not have a camera. Children need to experience and learn technology, because otherwise we are short changing them. The article to me discussed what we have read about in flipped classrooms.
I also found the Ted video very interesting. I truly believe that it is true that your level of ability is not based on where you are from. Children from wealthier families are not smarter than those who are born to poorer ones. The wealthier children just have more advantages and opprotunities given to them. If given the same opprotunity, the poorer children may succeed as well.
