Generation IM

There is no doubt that the students of today rely on technology for many aspects of their lives, primarily social networking. I think that using new technologies can act as a supplement to traditional teaching methods. I'm not sure that education must transform to include all of these advances. I'm afraid that if education becomes too technology based, aspects such as reading, writing and face to face human interaction would lose out. I'm not sure that kids truly need technology to learn. I think that having a wide range of teaching skills and methods are more important than using a wide range of technology. Like I said, technology can supplement, but not run the classroom.
