Technology Post

I believe that technology has a very important role in every classroom and education related field. There will always be people who take advantage of technology by going onto pointless sites like Facebook and Youtube, but even things such as those sites can serve a small purpose. Youtube is a way for people to interact with others and to get their videos out there for the world to see and to understand things about other people. Even sites like Facebook or Myspace can be helpful in blogging or meeting other people to exchange ideas. I know a few people who find people on Facebook to ask questions about class assignments because it is an easy way of communication. As for the quote in the article saying, "technology does not always lead to a desired level of proficiency" I think this is false in a way. No matter what your job may be computers or technology somehow affect the way we live and work. I may not be advanced with a computer but when it comes down to it I can get my work done because I know how to accurately search for topics online or to communicate to people when I need help.

Personally, I feel that even if a student has access to technology, he or she may not ever achieve proficiency by him or herself. In order to become completely proficient, someone who is exceptional at that specific piece of technology should be teaching the student how to correctly use the technology to his or her advantage.

Technology is a very important aspect in today's world. Computers serve a very important purpose in almost any career field and without we would fail as a species beings. I cannot imagine not being able to click a button to view the world news or to be able to access the internet from my laptop computer without wires. Computers in education allow you to research various topics in a faster, more efficient manner. Using computers you can create presentations, web sites, access email, take college courses, and even buy your food and groceries. I believe that everyone should have general knowledge of computer use. You don't need to be a computer genius, but you should be able to use a computer efficiently.
