WOW!

Technology these days is incredible. I was sitting in my last observation class and I was watching the students interact with the SmartBoard and I was in pure amazement. Not only was I amazed with the technology itself but I was also amazed by the way students know how to use it. The kids in my class knew exactly what to do during the whole lesson, making me feel silly for not completely understanding or following what they were doing. I remember when I was 8 years old, my family got our first at home computer. I was in awe as my brothers and I opened it up, and beyond excited. Forget all of the other toys I got, who cared about dolls when you got a brand new computer? So now, over a decade later, we can chat with people all over the world, through facebook, twitter, and even face to face on skype. It would be so interesting to skype another classroom in a different country and see how our students could interact. It would be like having cyber pen pals! So with this immense amount of technology I feel that education could never be boring! There are so many opportunities to take advantage of!
