Blogs in the classroom may be used in a variety of ways. I believe blogs could be used as a way to comment on the work of other students or to comment on various issues being covered in the class.
     Cunningham made some interesting points in his essay. I agree. Integrating technology into the classroom is not a bad thing; however, the primary focus should be whether or not student learning is occuring or whether or not the student is just increasing their computer skills with the use of all of the "bells and whistle" offered by computer software.
     When I really take a critical look at what may be gained of lost because of the integration of technology into the classroom, I believe technology cannot be ignored (it's not going to disappear), but I believe it is taking away from students truly learning how to do research or truly learning how to create and present a project. Yet I realize the computer does indeed allow those things to occur. Ok, I sound as if I can't make up my mind.
     I believe in traditional teaching methods. I believe in libraries, and I believe in colored pencils, markers and crayons. I believe all children won't have the benefit of technology because of cost restraints and I believe teachers less skilled in technology will slowly be phased out.
     Technology integration into the classroom--I'll continue to ponder these thoughts in my head. Talk to me in an hour and I'm quite sure I'll have an entirely different answer than the one above.
