After reading Cathie’s article ‘without pen and paper’ it made me think into how we learnt before pen and paper where invented, surely their were just as many valid resources out there to assist student learning which proves that technology is not a new implementation in our classrooms, after all I’m sure the pen was an amazing invention back in the day. The main point of inventing technology is to make things simpler for us and to let us have fun. These are two very important things for our teaching after all we do want our children to learn as much as possible under our care, so why wouldn’t we use new technologies that allow us to make learning easier and more fun for them?

An example of how technology can make a task generally perceived as boring, more interesting is the use of podcasts for students to make speeches where they can edit their voices and add sound effects. They get their idea’s across whilst making it fun with their own touch of character.
