I love my friends almost as much as I love my family. With that being said, I think that the way you are raised, and your personal experience with school has a lot to do with the way people go about having friends. Looking back, in almost every classroom… well at least the ones I can remember, there were AT LEAST computers in every one. Mind you, those are the ones I can remember. As I got older, there was a lot more technology in each one of my classrooms. For instance, there were computers, and not only computers but laptop carts, projectors, then smart boards, we also had these clicker things which you could send in your answers through them. I do think that there is a need for these resources in certain classrooms. I believe that these kinds of things are nessecary for older kids, I don't think that kids in kindergarten need things such as laptops. If I would have had a laptop that young I honestly do not think I would be who I am today. I don't think that I would have the same friends, and experiences. It wouldn't be "Hey Mom, can I go over to Michelle's house and play?" it would be more like "Hey mom, do you care if I get on our computer and chat Michelle?" I think that intergrating technology into classrooms is awesome! I just think at times there is a need for it, and at other times there is no need for it. I know personally if I would have had the technology we have today in the classroom when I was younger I wouldn't be the same person.
