Pay Attention

While viewing Pay Attention, I felt like I am in the dark ages when it comes to technology. I realize that students today are much more experienced with all kinds of technology than I am. I have made baby steps in an attempt to update my abilities in this area. But I have a long ways to go. I teach in an elementary school and I do not see cell phones and ipods and other gadgets like teachers do in the secondary level. I also teach in a school where many students still do not have these things because they cannot afford them. For these reasons, I have been slow to jump on board with using technology in my teaching. I think it is an excuse and I could be benefitting my students by using more technology. SH get with the program!
