The article written by Kelly Hines does speak the truth of over emphasis of technology in our society. As we may rely on technology to help us in everyday life it should not be put on a pedestal as our salvation. I agree with Ms. Hines about some of the main points of her article the first is that teachers must be learners. Learners in terms of learning more about our students, keeping up to date on trends, reading scholarly journal related to your profession. This point could explain the reason why we have so many teachers that our ineffective in our classroom which relates to which relates to our current literacy and graduation rates in the U.S.
The second point of the article that I found to be the most informative is learning and teaching is not the same thing. This appealed to me the most because teaching and learning is not the same thing because we all learn in different ways and there are many ways to teach the same thing to attain collaborative learning in the classroom setting. Question is "Will a teacher do that for his or her students for the both of them to be a success?" Lastly, we are possible to be a up to date teacher with out the use of technology by investing in our children to prepare them for the future.
