Is Literacy greater than, or equal to Technology?
I personally cannot pick one or the other especially having learned so much about how technology can go hand in hand with literacy. I am now a strong believer that one can help to support the other after having taken my last class and having been in this class that last few weeks. Literacy is a huge part of education and the current tools used to have children learn and comprehend can only be enhanced by the technologies that are constantly being produced.
Though I am not an educator not I think for the teacher who is not completely comfortable with using technology in the classroom the key may be in really finding the tool that is a good fit for them, and their classrooms needs. Once they discover that tool and begin taking some time to familiarize themselves with they can being to introduce it to their classroom. Blogging is a great example because teachers can use it in many ways to get their students to write and still maintain the safety of the students when doing these activities. The student and the teacher will begin to see the benefits in carrying out blogging exercises in the classroom and you can review some of the benefits of using blogging by clicking here
