Technology can be useful, at the same time it waste a lot of my time. Maybe this is just how I feel at the moment-I am sure tomorrow I could say I love it who knows. Right at this moment I just dont see the benefit because I am tired. I like powerpoint presentations because they are very helpful for multiple learning styles- only thing is I sometimes observe people having such difficulty to set the powerpoint up to play correctly- this takes up and waste valuable time that class can be involved in discussion instead. I just have a little advice-for all those planning to do a powerpoint presentation as past of your lesson plan in any class-please prepare a back-up lesson plan in the event that these hold-ups occur. There are a lot of kinks that need to sorted out with all of these technological advances. I do think that there already exists even more advanced systems that are much more user friendly and time efficient. However they cant be released all at once- or maximum money will not be made. We buy all the latest toys and gadgets, just so they can go out just as quick as last years trends in fasion-or any fad of the year. SO, I say save your money- and go on a trip with your family-skip the purchace of an ipod!
