I feel that the readings for this week are really getting at the problem that I am having trouble with and that is to be able to use the technology in a way that really deepens the understanding of something and not just using technology because it is the cool thing to do. Everything has its own literacy from math to science to foreign language. Everyone has there own literacy comprehension that they need to be successful in what they are doing. Technology can help us deepen the literacy of all of these things, however, we need to change the practices that were are currently doing which includes not using the smartboards as a glorified white board or quit using iPad to play math games on. We need to use them in way that will make the learning become more detailed and intricate so that the children will get more out of it in the end.
