TECHNOLOGY

It is rather fitting that our first few assignments and video resources deal with the need for technology in schools. I fully understand the need to support efforts within our district to continue its advancement as there is little question that many of our students learn differently than those only a few years ago. With that being said, there is little doubt that we must be hyper-vigilant in efforts to remain ahead of the curve. Technology in schools has already proven to have numerous consequences both from a student standpoint, as well as from an employee standpoint. It is unfortunate (but not altogether surprising) that such a powerful tool can have heavy consequences if it is misused. Sadly, we hear and read about it every day.
