Chapter 6: Digital Technologies in the classroom

Technology is good and bad in the class room, but i would rather have a class with more technology in it rather then having less.  The reasons why i would like to have a class that has more technology in it rather then less is, because students would be more responsive when they are trying to learn.  For example touch screens are very helpful because the students can actually actively learn.  If i had a choice to use a chalkboard or a touch screen then i would be more willing and motivated to use a touch screen.  Another useful form of technology in a classroom would be a scanner.  Scanners would be very helpful because it is a easy way to duplicate any form of document or picture that a student may have.  Even though technology is sometimes distracting in a classroom i think it would be more beneficial for their learning.
