I think that computer usage in the classroom is very important. I feel that there are so many things to learn and having access to a computer makes it easier to learn more. I think that they can definitely be misused and also utilized for the wrong purposes but I think overall they are incredibly important and play a key role in education, not just for the students, but also for the teachers.

I will used computers in my class often, because I feel that it is important to use the tools you have to learn more. Depending on what age I teach, I would have my students play games on them that stimulate their brain or help them to develop if they were younger. If they were older students, I would have them use computers to do research projects and presentations.

I am not very technologically advanced. I can do basic functions on a computer but I can not do anything that requires a high skill level. I am a creative writing major and I'm also a junior. I would love to one day teach high school english or a first grade class.
