What to change?

    After reading this article, It seems crazy that our lives evolve so much around technology.  Our kids know more about technology than we sometimes do.  My 22 month old daughter, knows how to navigate through my iPhone with few mistakes.  If you grow up surrounded by technology you just "get it" and learn from it more than not.  It is scary at times to think how our world is rapidly and radically changing.  But some change is good....
     I think we should find that "happy medium" in which we include both the virtual and physical spaces in education.  I think we should integrate technology into our lessons enhancing our students learning.  Students already know how to blog and face book, so incorporating these into our classrooms as instructional tools may be of benefit to our students learning environment.  On the flip side I do think we should limit how much time is spent in doing so.  I still feel that the physical aspects of learning such as how to write, read a book, do hands on experiments etc. are still very important.  Technology is changing our lives so we need to stay on top of the inevitable.
