Technology has had a HUGE impact on education. Our children are growing up in a technologically advanced society and I believe it is important that we support and encourage them. They need to be able to integrate technology in their everyday life.
That being said, I do believe that in our diligence in teaching them about education, we have overlooked the necessity of teaching them to use technology in a responsible and ethical manner. This is why in high school environments we deal with so many issues that began on Facebook, Twitter, etc.
I also believe that we have to remind our children that just because you can have 'instant' access to almost everything, you still have to be engaged with real, live, living and breathing humans. Nothing will ever replace the human connection.
