Technology in Schools


The reading that stood out to me the most was "Traveling, Textual Authority, and Transformation: An Introduction to Critical Digital Literacies" by Avila and Pandya. I do not like the fact that technology and textbooks online are becoming a big part of the classroom. There are positives and negatives of it but I think paper texts should be included. I am big on the issue of technology at it taking over a person's life. I think keeping old school texts and methods in the classroom keeps the classroom alive and kids focused. 

For example: when a teacher uses chrome books, the kids get distracted and go on different websites with hacks they figured out.
