  Technology is an area that we all have extensive exposure to, from televisions, to microwaves, cell phones and computers to name just a few.
Although I use a computer for class assignments, and at home for email, paying my bills and internet access, I am far from a proficient user. I think that computers and technology are wonderful and great modern invention.........When they work. Nothing is more infuriating than a computer "timing out", "locking up" or other hiccups that leave the average user, frustrated.
I believe that in today's classrooms computers can provide a useful learning platform and allows children access to the internet and educational programs. It also provides supplemental learning material that can compliment curriculum. I do think, however, that the responsibility to educate our children lies in the educator's hands and that responsibility should not be replaced by technology. Technology should be used as a tool, not a crutch.
