Today's students are technologically advanced. They live in a society where cellphones, I-pods, and computers are a necessity. They are constantly entertained, so why should school be any different? I think it's great when teachers use modern technology in the classroom. If the only things that grabs students' attention are video games and computers, then why can't they be used more in the classroom? School should be exciting. Teachers should adapt to the students, otherwise nothing will be accomplished. Students will become bored and restless just listening to lectures.
This article was very insightful. I hope that every teacher gets a chance to read it. The truth of the matter is, most teachers grew up without all the modern technology. This doesn't mean that technology is "wrong", or that the children are not learning when they do use it. It just means that they learn differently. And different learners need different teachers.
