#11: Volleyball

I have two children, Jake a junior at Huntsville High School, and Hannah an 8th grader at Huntsville Middle School.  After 5 weeks of having a laptop and using the digital curriculum, they both would much rather have a textbook instead of the digital textbook.  They do like using Edmodo to communicate with their teachers and they like using technology in their classes, however, they would still prefer to have a physical textbook.  Technology can be a very useful tool, however, at times, it can be "too much" if it is not implemented and integrated in an effective and efficient manner.  Their teachers have done a fantastic job of incorporating technology in their instruction all the while not being 100% dependent upon technology.  "Teaching" cannot be done by a computer and/or computer program alone, it takes a dedicated, caring teacher to use all the tools necessary to prepare our children for their future.
