Prompt #6

Review the technology timeline in Chapter 3 of Technology Applications for the Digital Classroom and discuss how you have witnessed the evolution of technology integration in society and in the classroom during your lifetime – from the when you were a student in elementary school to present.

Technology has progressed a lot since I was in middle school six years ago. My school had two computer labs and laptops that could be rented for the class that the whole school shared. Today I know that my high school has given everyone an IPad to use for his or her classes. Also I was not allowed to have my cellphone out during school. It had to be put away and shut off in my locker. I personally didn’t even have a cellphone in middle school. Today I have seen that schools have become more lenient with cellphones and allow them to be use during school just not in the classroom. Because technology is so prevalent in our society, it is hard to keep it out of the classroom.
