I personally believe that technology in the classroom is a good thing. Technology is constantly changing and people and students will have to learn how to use it. By putting technology in the classroom this will give the students the oppurnity to learn how to use the technolgy while learning.  It will also let the students learn the material at their own pace. We are constantly using technology in our everyday lives wheathe it is from using a cell phone to sending an email on a computer. With corporating technology and learning in the classroom, students will have the oportunity to learn while having fun. A student might have trouble learning how to do simple math just by using a pencil and paper but when you coporate math into a computer game the student might pick up on it faster.  However, there is a down fall to it. People might think that using technology in the classroom that the students are not learning or they might think they might use their computer or ipad for something else when they should be learning. There are ways around this to make sure that they are staying on task.  From a personal experience by being in an elementary classroom that used computers and ipads for learning, they had certain cites blocked and the teacher was able to moniter each student with what they were doing. I think that having technology in the classroom is great and can help the student understand a subject better than just using a pencil and paper.
