Educational Technology (3 Haikus)

Computer goes bing
frustration flows freely now
what can I teach them?


Internet resource
is it really trustworthy
how can students tell?


Standard English here
students speak anything but
how to use the net?


Educational technology has been an integral part of my life for many years. All through high school and college I was expected to complete numerous tasks using multiple technologies. I learned amazing things and truly gained an appreciation for technology. Now, as a primary school teacher, I find it a little frustration trying to use the same technologies in my classroom. Suddenly language barriers, financial limitations, and a lack of time and materials make using technology a bigger headache than a thrill.

In the future, I hope to overcome these frustrations and find a way to make technology a positive factor in education for both me and my students.
