Researching Educational Technology

This topic has a vast amount of resources and articles. What I really am after is the stance that technology is a positive thing in the classroom. Even if schools have limited resources and limited availability to technology, even the limited time will help and have a positive impact on the students. Some will disagree and say that there is too much technology used in the classroom these days but I am not taking this stance.

As everyone should, I will be not only using the library's books and printed material but also their vast inter web and web based searches that are provided for our uses. I particularly like the EBSCO host search. I have looked at some articles that I found while searching "Educational Technology" and "Assistive Technology". These look like they are going to be very helpful in my research of this particular topic. Also, I plan to interview a couple more teachers to get their take on this impact of technology use in classrooms and how they stand about it.

Even if you are not interested in becoming a teacher, I think that everyone should be aware of the technologies that are being used in classrooms today. Students are going to be the future and I look forward to teaching students with the most up-to-date technologies of the day. Technology use in the classrooms are here to stay and will help out everyone.
