It never occured to me that we are overwhelmed by technology to this extent until I encountered this situation.One of my students brought to my attention that he couldn't find any relevant information in books for his research paper. I asked him to log on elibrary website and try to get some information from the immense number of books he can find there.The answer that triggered my attantion was that "I don't need to read any books if I can surf the net".
It's amazing how our students and all this future generation rely on technolgy in everything they do. I encourage the way we are being exposed to science, arts and many other aspects, but I really ask this generation to respect the value of reading books.
We as educators play a major role in this matter. Encourage the students to benefit from the facilities that the technology offers, but try to shun them from abusing it.
Reading widens the scope of the mind.

It is really important to iteract between technology and education since in our daily life technology is in every way and to let our students understand critically we most use technology
ReplyDeleteyes it is amazing to our students to rely on technology and on books in the same time and one of the evidences is this blog ,the web quests and the posters ... in the Educ 560 that really benefit me very much as a student and as a teacher.
ReplyDeleteTechnology is shaping every aspect of our lives not only our relationship with books. We have become too dependent on it that if we lose connection for a few minutes we feel as if we are missing something essential. We can't say that we should avoid this, but we should know how to manage our use of it and dependence on it. We need to direct and train our students to make use of its benefits and to avoid blind dependence on it.
ReplyDeleteTechnology and education are two basic parts that we can not confuse between them for that any teacher to encourage and achieve students most relate technology to education but do not forget not every thing we most let our student depend on internet they most use there minds also
