  26. Today, in my Technology in Education class we learned about the pros and cons of technology in the classroom. I learned about how computers, iPods, iPads, clickers, SMART boards, and Progress Book can be used effectively in classrooms. I also learned about the different disadvantages that technology can have in a classroom. Finally, I learned that even if classes have this technology, it is up to the teacher to be well-versed in how to use the technology correctly.
