A little about me..

Introducing Myself

My name is Ashtyn Stevens. I am from "the coolest small town in America" voted in 2011, Lewisburg WV. Currently I am studying elementary education at Fairmont State University. I am not exactly sure what grade level I want to teach yet, but I am aiming around 2nd and 3rd grade!

Technology  in Education. Yes or no?

How I believe technology should be used.

YES!

Technology is very important in schools. I remember when I was introduced to the first smart board I had ever seen. It was in my math class during 7th grade year, and I along with all the other students in my classroom found it fascinating. My math teacher would often let us come up to the board and tap on all of the little plus signs to collaborate it, and once he saw how interested we were in just something little like that he began to allow us to work problems up on the electronic board also. There are always new inventions coming out, and many can help with the education of students. Students often find learning with technology more interesting and fun. I believe that because of how this generation of young children and even other generations are often working with electronics it comes easy and fun for us to work with them in a classroom. I could list many examples of experiences I have encountered with using technology to learn in school, and it would consist of nothing but positive feedback.
