Reflection 1-Technology Bits Bytes Nibbles-School requires iPad

I think that it is crazy that technology has changed so much that iPads are now being used in class. I do not know a lot about them but maybe these are a good way to relate to students technologically. It might make them more excited to learn. Usually more technology in the schools like this gives the students and perhaps even the teachers a sense of “coolness” about learning and teaching.  This article in particular is about a school in Tennessee who has decided to provide every student with an iPad because they believe it will enhance students’ learning. I agree! Not only will students and teachers be able to work well together with these new devices, but they will be much easier to carry around rather than a bunch of textbooks. Our world is changing and technology is a big reason for it. As a future teacher I want to be up-to-date with technology and be aware of how it is changing so that I can relate with my students and encourage creative learning. iPads are just one example of how I can do that!technologybitsbytesnibbles, http://www.ksla.com/Global/story.asp?S=13880126
