Impact of Technology
In ET-690 my partner and I researched the impact that technology has on student social, emotional and cognitive development. As educators it is our job to enable student cognitive processes to be nurtured and enriched. Our technology should always have a purpose so we need to be aware of which tools are benefiting our students and which are harming our students. We can do this by reflecting on our technology use and ask ourselves if it is enriching our student cognitive processes or just another tech tool.
