19-Response to "Evolving Classroom Education..."

This article was about the future of technology in the classroom. It included the term BYOD (Bring Your Own Device), which refers to asking students to bring their own mobile devices in order to teach them using the technology already available. It also gave other examples of technologies that are not quite developed for schools yet, but should be in the near future. It was about anticipating these new technologies and keeping updated with them in order to effectively use them in the classroom. I found this article to be very interesting. I guess if technology is going to take over, people should be educated on how to use it properly. I also think that it should be used sparingly and in certain situations. I plan on teaching in critical needs areas and the BYOD thing may not work, because the students may not have access to their own mobile devices. It does not seem fair to let only a few children bring technologies to school while the others just have to watch and are reminded about how they do not have these things. If I were to use this in my classroom, I would have to find a way to make sure each of the children were given access to a device.
