New Technology

In recent years, buy the help of technology, education facility diversified to several areas. For education of special need children, technology is so helpful for example. Thesedays we are talking about useful sides of technology in our daily teaching lives. We are learning that we need to use the last edition of technology in our classroom environment. As a prospect teacher we need to be familiar with these issues.
However, this does not mean that we need to fosuc on only technological development and get away from traditional education techniques. Children of todays' world, we face with positive and negative results. While we are trying to educate children in a good way, we also have to compete with technology mania. Literacy is also always changing. In today's world we used to communicate via text messaging, instant messaging, cell phones and etc... We are so far from face to face communication day by day. Our next generation has already grown up by these communication techniques and we need to do something immediately to stop this extraordinary changes in all our lives.
Classic Literacy techniques like novel is not seen as useful as internet. I think this is a critical time in the field of literacy. As a teacher of future we need to learn to balance between classic literacy and internet based education.
