Digital Kids Ruling the Classroom

“Teachers may be the masters in the classroom, but when it comes to mastering technology, a growing number of schools are turning to students.” This is a quote from an article I read entitled “When Digital Kids Rule the Classroom.”  This article talks about the importance of allowing kids to use technology in the classroom, and also the importance of allowing the students to teach the teachers some technology. The article also discussed how important it is to let kids use many types of technology instead of restricting them because using the technology will be a great aid in their education. I think that it is so important that we allow students to use many different types of technology in the classroom. The technology in the world is ever-changing and it is so important that students are exposed to this in school. This exposure will not only help the students, but it will help the teachers as well. Teachers will gain a better understanding of the technology and in turn will be able to come up with different methods of teaching using this technology.
