Technology in schools
I think the internet and technology offer good things for education if used properly. I think the teachers need to have a good grip on technology before allowing it in their classroom so they can monitor what students are actually looking at and if using for educational purposes. I think students these days have an imagination that the classroom can't teach to but the internet may be able to, also it needs to be able to be tied in with the curriculum of the school and the content of the subject studied. The internet allows students to connect with the rest of the world in just one click and that is something that needs to be taken advantage in schools but the important thing that needs to be remember is that it needs to be monitored and not misused by the students.

I really agree with your idea that teachers need to be completely comfortable with technology before using it in their classroom, not only to moniter that students are looking at appropriate websites, but also to ensure they can rectify any problems students have with their computers, internet, technology, etc.
