I think we have the tendency to only observe technology and not think about how it is used because not very many educators ask their students that questions. Teachers do not say, "how do you think that computer works?" they just ask, "do you know how to use a computer?"
ReplyDeleteI think that we may be worried about the place that technology is taking in our lives recently; therefore, we are asking the wrong questions. We should rather be asking how we can use technology as an assist in our classroom and know how to use it properly.
ReplyDeleteGood point!
DeleteIt is hard to better the confidence of those born before 1990 when many who lack the skills and confidence are opposed to learning. In addition, those who are willing to learn grew up in such a different world that the simplest tasks using technology are hard for them. We have to put ourselves in their shoes to understand how hard it would be and even mind-blowing to change our ways so drastically by the implementation of technology.
