I believe that technology has a very important place in the classroom. As the world evolves, more and more things are done using technology. How can we teach kids to be active participants in the world if we don't use technology. The basics will always need to be taught in school, it is the way that they are taught that is changing. There are many new devices developed constantly. There are now electronic books, smartboards, mini computers, and the list goes on and on. In order to use these new things, we must learn how they work. I believe that knowing how to use technology will be an important tool for everyone.
Technology is not only for young people. So much of communication today is technological. We have cell phones, text messaging, IM, and email. We also have social networks that keep people connected, and blogs to keep everyone updated with our lives. What did people do before all of these things were developed? I didn't even have a cell phone until I went to college and now I can't seem to do without it! It is never too late to learn about technology, with all of the resources availabe (tutorials, podcasts, online workshops) all people should be able to learn at least the basics principles of technology.
