My Beliefs about Technology and Learning

          Technology and learning go hand in hand these days.  It seems like all schools, whether elementary or college level, technology had some form of involement in the classroom.  Some people might not like the technological advances in the classroom, however, I believe that as technology increases and advances there are many applications for it.  Technology has enhanced my education greatly over the years.  Technology makes reaching out to resources easier, especially when they are not accessible in person.  Technology today allows students to read journals from around the world when they can't physically handle the material.  Technology allows students to reach out to the far reaches of the globe for resources and communication porposes.  Example of this, is when classes can communicate with other students across the world using a web camera.  Technology in the classroom can allow students to view important events, such as the shuttle launch this past summer, or a presidental address.  I totally believe that technology is here to stay and students and teachers need to embrace, instead of running away from it and use it in their classrooms.
