Reflection on Ubiquitous Computing

In this discussion, I learned what ubiquitous computing is which is incorporating technology into our everyday lives and specifically the classroom. Reading about this topic really showed me just how technological we are. The readings provided a lot of perceptions and interpretations on how we can actually incorporate technology into every aspect of life. It is also true that there is the potential to have multiple types of technology in the classroom and it can be very beneficial for the student. But the question is, is this possible? A lot of the discussions eloquently and passionately spoke about how important it would be to have those technologies such as computers, DVD;s and Videos in their classrooms. Some said that it would help the students to learn and keep their interests while others felt that students will loose the knowledge or information in all the technology that's presented to them. What everyone had to say was positive and the subject was a great discussion and needed no improvement. But through the discussions, I've learned that those technologies can be used if only the teachers did not have limited resources due to budget cuts. Some teachers felt that if they had the technology they would indeed teach differently and I have to agree.
