What we classify as technology

It has been interesting reading everyone's comments about technology and seeing the posts from the various schools. It amazing to see how advance certain schools and systems are from others. A lot of that depends on the importance put on technology from the administration. When our group was making out our individual lists, some of us almost forgot a few things because maybe we didn't think of them as being so advance because they have been out for so long,or maybe because we rely on them so heavily we forget they are actually technological advances. I think of technology as being anything that helps us reduce redundant time and can simplify our work and daily way of life. It's amazing to see the new technology being placed in schools for teacher and student use. I don't think students realized how these new advancements are not only aiding in their learning, but creating something that teachers can depend upon to connect with all learning styles. I look forward to seeing some of the new developments when I return to teaching. It will make discussions and learning more interactive and productive. That is something all teachers work toward!
