Should we use technology in the classroom?

We have been studying various forms of technology in Ed Tech this semester which you can possibly use in your future classrooms. Keep in mind that the students you will be serving have far more exposure to technology than you did at their age which may be overwhelming or intimidating. There are also other definite obstacles to using technology, but I feel that it is vital that we find ways to overcome these obstacles if we are to effectively prepare students for the future. What do you think your obligation is to use technology in the instruction and assessment? What do you see as the biggest obstacles to you using technology in your classroom? How will you overcome these obstacles?

Write 3-5 thoughful sentences in response to the questions above. Be sure to sign your name.
