Cons of Educational Technology

Educational Technology can sometimes be bad. I relate this topic to what it would be like in past. They didn't have technology and got by. I feel like it makes students be lazy because all they do is sit in front of the computer or video gaming. I think the games are great and they do help the child learn, but the child can get hooked on these games and become very lazy.
Some people can relate this to why we have obesity. Every child wants to sit in front of a computer or play video games now. Even if these games are educational, they are getting hooked on these games. Children used to be interested in going out side and running around, but now with the technology games they want to sit and do nothing.

  2. Your blog brings up a very good point. Sometimes people think that they are doing children good by allowing them to play these educational games on the computer but like you said, they are just giving students the opportunity to sit in front of a computer and not really do any physical activity.
