This week we have been discussing the idea of technology within education or, in some cases, technology versus education. Technology is meant to enhance learning and yet it feels as though it has been pushed upon the everyday teacher to learn more and more. Technology is not being used effectively in a lot of cases because there is a lack of knowledge of the teacher or a lack of time. Should it be the teachers responsibility to be researching technology applications on their own time? It that a fair way of implementing technology? Is that even a good way of doing it? There are so many boarders to cross when bringing technology into the classroom. Yet, it is an absolute necessity. In Ontario, they have suggested that students must take at least 2 online courses in order to graduate. Although the idea is somewhat progressive, is it being forced upon students without proper planning? Will teachers be able to provide the same engaging content to students when they are using an online platform? Are those teachers going to be trained in how to use various programs well enough to teach students? Will there be a difference in compensation for teachers who now have to triple their class size simply because their class is provided online? There are so many questions that surround this topic. The idea of technology being the main form of education is a difficult pill to swallow and makes me question whether it is the best form of education, or simply the most convenient?
