Live chat

I would have to say in this live chat that I am reading, the first answer I would have to agree with is that the biggest problem with using technology in the classroom is the generation gap. many of the older teachers have no interest in learning how to use technology then teach it to their students and actually use it. They would rather stick with what they have been using for the past who knows how many years. This is what makes kids bored and not motivated to do good in school. A topic brought up that I never thought of are the glitches. As good as technology is it isn't always reliable, so now I can see why some teachers would not want to use techology.

The generation gap IS a huge problem in schools, but we can eliminate this problem as we enter schools as young teachers. We can bring in our new knowledge with technology and show it to other teachers and students. We also need to keep up-to-date with newer technologies that are introduced so we don't get behind the times. This is a problem now, but hopefully we can help to bridge gaps with our newly acquired information and education.
