Why might it be important for students to learn with technology?

We’ve talked about how students we will be teaching will have already have so much exposure to technology that it would make it easier for use to teach while using it. It’s like a language they already know, plus they love it! I myself love using a computer and technology gives them many creative programs and options they can use. It makes kids more INTERESTED. We’ve discussed this several times in the classroom with both Dr. Theresa and Dr. Grace, and I believe what Dr. Grace said really sunk in, something along the lines of we are preparing them for the conceptual age, and they will be improving and fixing technology that hasn’t even been invented yet. One concern I do have however is that I don’t think everything should be used with technology. Honestly I think it’s good for students to do their math homework with paper and pencils because then they can see their own work instead of relying on a computer. I just don’t want us to become dependant on technology.
