"Wired" Schools = "Wired" students

In relation to my first wiki - Educational Technology Defined, I agree with the statement that technology provides enormous improvments within the school system. Just looking at the "basics" that technology information provides today, compared to schooling 20 years ago we have come along way in growing. I do believe that if technology in education was a widespread as it is in the workplace (buisnesses) schools including the students, teachers, parents, and administation would be well adavanced. Personally as a student at the University of Delaware, tutor/mentor in a school, and a previous teachers assistant technology has helped me in new levels of understanding i would possibly not have been able to reach without it. As described in the Wiki, technology is helpful in communication. For myself, it has been extreemly helpful in the following: keeping track of my grades, contacting my teachers and advisor, staying in touch with my parents while at college, making powerpoint presentations for classes, finding articals for my biology lab write ups, using the dictionary provided by Microsoft word, and finding quotes for a research paper. As just described, without technology I don't know where I would be in my student life... I can only imagine how useful it will be when I become a teacher!
