My current thoughts about the use of technology in the educational field ...

Technology is becoming more and more apart of the classroom in every child experience within the classroom. It has gone as far as to become its own subject area and is integrated into almost every subject. I do not see technology becoming less important as time goes on, but even more so. I think that as a future educator we need to stay up to date on our ability to operate current technology and keep up with research, so that we can incorporate technology into the learning process for children. Technology withholds the ability to increase learning in every subject if used efficiently. It is also highly important to keep up with current technology so that we as educators can help our students to learn appropriate ways to use tools and become efficient with them, because as we have seen technology is going to be a vital portion of our students lives as they get older. By including a variety of technology into the classroom we are helping our students to become well rounded, which should be a main goal of every teacher.
