DEMONSTRATION OF A MAGIC TRICK




THOUGHTS ABOUT TECHNOLOGY USE AND MISUSE
By Kathy Cassidy, First Grade Teacher in Canada

*Technology should not just allow us to do things in a more engaging way; it should allow us to do new things that we thought were not possible.

*It is not enough to USE technology. You must use it well.

*Technology should not be used as simply a digital worksheet.

*Technology should not be used as a way to keep students occupied.

*Technology should not be used to do what can be done without it.

*Technology should be for accessing what was inaccessible.

*Technology should be for sharing with the world.

*Technology should be for connecting.
