Prior to reading the article I believed that children's interested have changed due to technology. While reading the article I found myself nodding my head in agreement with many of Presenky's ideas. In addition, the article reminded me of many discussions I have been involved in during staff meetings and trainings at my school.
From all the information I've been presented with I believe that, as with most things in education, their needs to be a balance. I believe technology should be integrated into education when it benefits and enhances student learning. In order for this to happen teachers will need to learn and adapt curriculum in such ways. However, I also believe that there are concepts that don't need to be "technologisized" and that would be more beneficial for students to learn the "old" way.
