My view on using technology in education

Before I attend this class, I totally had negative view on using technology which directly affects young child's mind. The bad effect has been obvious for past few years.

Because of rapid advancement of technology, many children have been absorbed to use these technologies. For example, almost all elementary school students in Japan have their own mobile-phones and laptops. Furthermore, as some video showed before, one child in Korean eventually could not attend school since he was always using laptop for online game.

However, as I learned very useful tips about using technology effectively and academically through this class, I started to realize that using technology for children does not always bring about bad result. And using technology in class also have great advantage for children's learning. For example, by using laptop in class, students get curious about using laptop and learn much more things with using laptop rather than learning without using laptop.

As I said many times, using technology is a double edge sword. It is totally up to us whether we can use it in good way. I believe that we always have to ponder how technology should be like for educational purpose.
