In class we reflected on how we can incorporate technology into the classroom and how that changes the classroom learning experience.   We also discussed what we are losing now that technologies are so prevalent;  we can’t just jump start a car, or look at the engine and take it apart!  Students become detached from understanding how technology works, they assume that the internet will never go away.  Look at the corporations behind technology, understanding the powerhouses behind technologies.  Having a critical lens for our understandings.
