Unfortunately, as useful and as helpful as technology is, there are many disadvantages and problems that accompany this age of information. Technical failures are inevitable and reliability is often uncertain. There is also a risk when children enter the World Wide Web. Inappropriate material can too easily be accessed or mistakenly entered into, thus making supervision essential. Older students researching the Web for information are tempted to plagiarize material and other works.
Authenticity is challenged as well as finding quality information.
As an emerging teacher, I am excited about the future of technology. I want my students to engage themselves in an environment where there is an availability of resources. Because of technology, we are given a passport to see the world around us. May we use the tools that we have to educate our future and engage ourselves, young and old, into a whole new level of learning.
