vincent briseno on 28 Nov 12This is a great, thought provoking, question. I believe, as with everything, moderation is the key. Should students be immersed in technology? Absolutely, but not at the expense of human interaction, written expression, or the acquisition of social skills.

So far I really enjoyed reading the article of age for technology growth for students. Very interesting article because technology can work both ways and I truely feel that there are students who abuse the power of technology in classrooms. It's up to us as teachers to monitor them in every way possible. Technology education in classrooms has evolved so much that students are becoming more technological advanced then we are. Interesting article and I do feel that exposion of technology in an early age will prepare them for college.
