Digital Learning Day

The most I got out of this meeting was the importance of having computers and technology. even though there are many advances and opportunities to have with technology I like the fact that it's only a tool. A tool that I can choose to use and just because it's the next big thing doesn't mean I need to have it in my classroom. A few take away advantages.

• student empowerment
• collaboration with other educators over the states
• education environment exceeds the classroom
• feedback from technology is neutral 
• personal responsibility/self support

I'm a little prejudice against computers and technology because I see how it isolates people and creates such a disconnect in relationships. But I know regardless of the downsides, technology has a purpose and I want to use it for it's purpose and not depend on it fully to accomplish everything.
