Growing Up Online Reflection

Technology today plays a large role in the lives of young learners. Most rely on it for almost everything including homework assignments, staying in touch with friends, and entertainment. I think it is necessary for both parents and teachers to monitor the use of technology by young learners to make sure they are not using it inappropriately. I think using technology to further learning is most definitely an important aspect especially when researching topics and information. As a future teacher, I will incorporate technology into my classroom and outside of the classroom to the best of my ability. I will assign work that enables my students to become familiar with different types of technology and ideas they can use even outside of the classroom. This video is truly a reality in the lives of people today and catches snapshots of the everyday life happening everywhere.
