I recently read this book called Feed, that critiqued
some of the dangers of our values as a society, but also the effects of an over
dependency on technology. This made me look at how we use technology with our
students. Technology can often be the miracle that allows some students to do
what they never could have done without it, but it can also become an unneeded
crutch for something they could have overcome. So my conclusion is a reminder
to us all of how intentional we need to be about deciding what assistive technology
we use with our students. We need to make sure we have clear goals and
objectives for our students, and be cautious about being too quick to just let
technology always be the solution. If we do this, technology will always be a
tool that helps us achieve our potential, and not a danger that leads us away
from our true potentials.
