Learning Log

This was our last week in the classroom. On Tuesday we did our technology interview and I found the results very interesting. The computer teaching has no special training whatsoever. She has a degree in Elementary Education with an emphasis in math. I found that completely astonishing I didn't know that a school would hire someone like that to be their computer teacher. She was also their IT technician. She was a very nice person, but I felt like she really didn't know what she was talking about. I would ask a question and she would be like "I don't really know" or "I think so". I feel like schools are not using technology as much as they could. First of all i computers they only learn three things a year. They learn typing, Internet safety, and have a web quest on a science topic. The teacher whose classroom I was in thinks that integrating technology is using a microphone while giving instructions. I just think that technology is being overlooked way too much.
