Implementing technology into the classroom seems to be a growing topic of discussion. It appears that everyday there is something new developed that teachers can use to enhance their technology in the classroom. Computers are a great resource tool and a great invention, and it appears that people cannot function without them anymore. There are so many resources out there, especially for the internet that a teacher may soon be obsolete. If students can learn everything they need on a computer, is there going to be a need for teachers in the future?
I liked how the authors of the book gave examples of useful websites to find science related information for. Looking for websites can be difficult, especially if you are just doing using a search engine. By doing it through a search engine, you have to be careful of getting information that is accurate and up to date. There is just so much information available on the internet, it is sometimes hard to narrow down a search enough to find the information that you are looking for in a timely manner.
By having students use computers in a classroom, it helps them develop computer skills. Computers are not a thing that is going to go away. If students become familiar with computers when they are young, they will be better off as they get older. By having computer skills it opens more doors for them and gives them more opportunities to get better jobs. Also, it is sometimes easier for children to learn computer skills, than adults. If they know the basics when they are young, it is easier for them to expand on the already learned information as they get older.
