I have a good skill level. I am not a computer science major, but I can usually do the things I need to. I know how to use most of the features of certain programs and am a proficient typer. However, when it comes to things beyond word processing I begin to feel lost. My main concern with classroom technology is being in a school where they have none.
Rural schools seem to lack the funding more than any otherschools.
However with the changing world and society I feel having an understanding of technology is a key component in the education of children. If children are not exposed to technology in primary school as well as high school, they are going to have a difficult time making it in college. As a future teacher, lacking the resources to teach children about technology would make me feel as though there were a hole in the curriculum. I feel for me as a teacher it would put a damper on my teaching as well. As a techer I think the creativity of my teaching would suffer.
