Rethinking Chapter 2

I have always known that technology plays a big role in our educational system today, but after reading chapter two, I feel that technology is taking over what we are doing. We are relying too much on computers or different technology because we allow students to learn based on their own interests. So to me, it sounds like we see what the students want to be and then revolve our teaching around that. Technology is an important factor in our school systems today, but we should try to rely less on it and allow students to work on content areas that they need the help with. As a teacher, I feel that we know what is important and what will help the students succeed. Even though times have changed, many factors are still the same. It is important for us as educators to use technology, but use it in different ways that the students cannot rely on it fully.
