Technology as a Culture?






Technology isn’t going away, it’s getting more and more invasive in all of our lives. Especially younger generations. Most of their social interactions are happening online now. Understanding that they’ve grown up watching cartoons on tablets, not waking up early on Saturday morning to watch the “good cartoons” on tv, is an important part to understanding the lives of today’s kids. Technology is this young generations language.




Whether or not we like or agree with how invasive technology is in children’s lives as teachers we need to try and understand it. It is a big part of how they were raised and live their lives. If we are too stubborn to accept these changes then we won’t be able to fully connect and communicate with our students. We don’t have to agree with it but at the very least we should try to see it for what it is.
