Although I believe that technology is important, I think that school shouldn't completely stray away from books and other traditional methods. I think it's important for students to know how to take notes from reading.

21st century teaching
We're talking about some of the technology essentials to have a classroom. For example, digital camera, flash drive, video camera, projector, laptop, smart tablet, etc. I think all these tools would be helpful to engage students. All children learn differently and for some it might be more helpful to watch a power point about the topic rather than simply reading about it. I think that it's important for teachers to know how to use technology because children today are being bombarded by media and it's important for teachers to help students learn about technology from a young age.

I absolutely agree with you that there needs to be a mix of old and new. But how about taking notes from the reading on a computer. What about students that have disabilities that prevent them from being able to write well or quickly. What if they could dictate their notes to a computer and it would write if for them? Do you think that this would be an unacceptable adaptation for them?
