Educational Blogging : The End

This time I have spent blogging has been a great learning experience. I have enjoyed reading my fellow classmates' opinions on a variety of subjects and have read blogs from several teaching pathways such as Music Education, Pre-K, and Agriculture, like myself.

Technology can be good, and it can be bad, but As teachers, how do we determine the amount of technology used for the learning experience? With an increase in technology and funding for its use in classrooms today, teachers are faced with lots of decisions on what role technology will play in their students learning and how they can regulate its use to not rely too heavily on it. Teachers have opportunities left and right with resources like google classroom, Padlet, Kahoot, etc. However, at what point is it too much technology and not enough teacher interaction in the classroom. Sticking students in front of a laptop or tablet all hours of the day can have a negative impact on their learning due to distractions and too much screen time. For some students, all of their time at home is spent on technolog
