Computer Time

Computer time in high school meant FREE TIME. Yes, we were suppose to be doing research on some subject that no one really knew anything about, but no one ever did the research. We just mainly tried to beat the "Parental Codes" and look at our emails and download gross things and then send them to each other. In other words, Computer Time was "Get Nothing Accomplish Time." I do believe this could have been different though had it been for the teachers guidance. Many of my teachers really didn't know how to use the computers and really were no help, but I believe now a days this is different since I know what I'm doing on the computer and could help guide my students a little better. I'm not saying that computer time will no longer be fun, but I do believe it will be more beneficial for my students.

Education and Technology

Technology I believe has benefited that classroom in many ways. The internet by far has transformed education in the way we have our students research and learn about all areas of schooling. Most schools today have a computer lab, and many are even starting to have each student have their own laptop during school so they can do all their assignments online and utilize the technology that is being used in today's fast pace world. Using technology will only benefit our students for the "real world."
