Chapters one and two

Technology is becoming a huge part of our everyday lives.  It is important for us to stay as up to date with it as possible.  These readings brought to our attention that technology is being used as the soul means of education in some cases.  More and more people are taking online courses and are not even stepping foot in a classroom.  This has its positives and negatives.  This sort of education allows for easy collaboration with peers via chat-rooms, Skype, blogs and other devices.  As teachers it is important  to keep these aspects of technology in mind when putting together our classrooms.  We need to make sure that we are using our students' full potential, and using technology may be the way to do that.
