Technology is part of our lives today, even if we don't always like that fact. I'd like to see less television and video games in the stores and more books and music, personally. I chose these pictures just as a reminder of some of the things I think that were positive about several of the groups presentations- technology that enhanced our learning! If I remember correctly, two groups played music... I specifically remember group four's music however, because it was N*SYNC and the Spice Girls! Which, embarrassingly enough, I requested. I feel like the music from group four is half the reason I was so into their presentation. I was awake and kicking around spice girl tracks from back in the fourth grade. I don't necessarily despise technology, but sometimes I think it hinders more than helps the learning process. I worked with CELTS a while back, and my tutee only wanted to play computer games. He was willing to play the ones to help him learn how to read, but he would only play the parts with the words he recognized, or had activities he had already memorized so he didn't have to read at all. I do think the power points used in the presentations were helpful though, so not always is technology a hindrance... just sometimes when it is used improperly.
