Technology is good in education. These days without a little knowledge you will feel like you are on the outside looking in. So much of it is incorporated in to everyday life from automated tellers to libraries. I still prefer a good book but that doesn't mean I'm against reading an e-book. Maybe in the future reading them on the computer will feel about the same with graphics and advancing technology.

If you like computers, then any of the computer fields would be good.\nIf you have any interest in medicine, the medical field is always good. How about a radiological technologist (x-ray tech)?

Computer is a part of technology in general. Technology speeds up the learning process most successfully.

As a teacher, just hearing that book title makes me feel ill-at-ease.  Sounds a bit too touchy-feely for the real world you'll be soon encountering.  No, I've never read your particular book.  But I recommend the book below; although ambitiously overpriced, it's interesting and gives you plenty to think about and consider for adaptation in your own classroom.  I believe it is thus worth what you'll pay.

When used correctly, technology media are very effective as reinforcers for near-mastery material, introducing discussion topics, etc.\n\nMost people learn best when presented information repeatedly, in a variety of formats.

Well, I'm a history major (not too far off, actually - heavy liberal arts writing and reading discipline), and since graduating I've been an office assistant, a telecommunications consultant, a computer technician and now a computer retail manager.  Don't let your major define what you can and can't do.  There are a heck of a lot of jobs out there that you cannot major in in college, you know?  But an English lit major can be a real asset in certain fields, like the tech industry (like me).  Do you know why?  It's because, honest to God, a lot of techies are barely literate.  They cannot write proper business correspondence, they cannot read large amounts of data and synthesize and summarize it concisely, they cannot communicate in layman's terms to customers and clients.  It's a real liability in the market place for them.  I've gotten a few really good jobs where there was a choice between me and someone who actually majored in an IT discipline.  I was chosen because I can demonstrate I'm well-rounded, well-read, well-spoken and can learn just about anything.  So study your darnedest in English and then just keep your mind open and be willing to try anything.  Maybe check out broadcast media.  That sounds like some cool stuff I bet you'd be good at.  Good luck to you!

I think it has opened so many doors to increasing knowledge for all students.   In our Districts they are teaching students math on the computers.  Remember students have to know how to program them to get the correct answers.   So the computer is not really doing their work.  It does help teachers to be able to access them better.  Plus students can work at their own pacing plan  which allows them to go as fast or as slow as they can.  Additionally we live in the age of electronics.   Our children can have global communication as opposed to when we were in school.  I'd like to see more computers in the classrooms because right now the kids have to share,,,,

I think we will always have books, but I would bet someone will figure out another way to make them in a very different form.  I also think that high school textbooks are doomed, since they are way too heavy and can be offered in CD-ROM form already.  The classes I teach are going to be giving everyone the CD of the textbook and just keep the regular books in the classroom next year, so that students don't have as much weight in their backpacks.

Well, I'm a high school librarian so here goes:\n\nBooks can transform your life. I've seen students with no goals who have read about a career and realized it is what they want to do with their lives (such as becoming a paramedic, police officer etc). These students have told me without reading about these careers, they never would have given them a second thought.\n\nBooks can take you away from your own life and teach you about other people and places in the world. I've learned about life in the United Kingdom, experiences of a World War Two vetran, life in a concentration camp and the world of the Hell's Angels thanks to books.\n\nOne good book can make you want to read others. I've had loads of students who come in and say, "I don't like reading but I need a book". My favourite books to offer students target their possible interests. Some very popular books are biographies such as Black Like Me, Go Ask Alice, Into the Abyss (on the Hell's Angels) and katie.com. I love it when students return and tell me how much they've enjoyed something I've suggested to them and love it even more when they come back and want to read again!\n\nReading can change your life. Whether you choose to read graphic novels, biographies or How to Custom Weld Damn Near Anything you can't go wrong when you pick up a book!

iPods: Help, but for some people they may not be able to concontrate and listen to music(lectures) while doing schoolwork.\n\nPDA: I find them useless and I prefer to write things down in an agenda.. but they don't usually have enough features to completly distract you from your schoolwork.\n\nLaptops: I find extremly distracting if they have internet connection. The internet sucks you in with an unendless amout of things to do. But If you can stay away from the internet other then using it for research, laptops are very useful tools.\n\nIt all depends on the person.

oh....Using technology based projects and things in my classroom have changed my style completely.  First of all, I use a lot of powerpoint when I lecture and using this means I can show movie clips, cartoons, pictures...anything that relates well with my subject area.  (I teach history) We also do a lot more research, so my students are learning to become careful, thorough researchers.  I use the internet to provide interactive study guides, online quizzes, etc. for them at home.  On review days, we have a huge Jeopardy game that comes up on the digital projector - they get so excited that they end up jumping around and studying for the REVIEW a week in advance.  I have a website that allows my students access to lessons, projects, deadlines, etc, making them more responsible and goal oriented.  AND my school has a great program that catches plagarism on papers, so although I hate that I have, I've caught students cheating and hopefully caught them early enough for them to realize the need for honesty and hard work.\n\nI like hands on learning and I find that computers and technology allow them the opportunities to express themselves and learn in a more...relaxed, enjoyable setting.  I've found in the last little while that students are doing better in class as they get more involved in technology=based learning.\n\nChallenges...sometimes it's hard to intergrate things.  Sometimes my students have to suck it up and learn by lecture.  I think it overstimulates sometimes, so I try for a good balance.  um.  Resources is a big challenge.  Digital projectors are EXPENSIVE.  \n\nCan't really think of many challenges - I'm blessed with a very well equipped, technology friendly school.

From a learning standpoint of view I'd say science and medicine.  I always did well in that.\n\nArt, literature and entertainment is too dry and stuffy in school.  They never read books off the NY list, entertainment is always too PC, you're not going to teach them about Spamlot, are you!  I mean, you CAN conceivable teach them where Beck get's all his influences from by playing some Beck and then playing some World Beat music that HE listens to and incorporates!  But what Teacher would do that!  (Do you even know who Beck is and I don't mean Jeff Beck!)\n\nScience and MEdicine is at least safe to teach and can be quite awesome if don't right.

The underpinnings of your question touch on the notion of ...." what is better for our society....reading a book or getting on the computer"\n\nDiversity has always been a good teacher.  Maybe read a book and blog it on the computer or vice versa.  That may be good for you as well as society.\n\nJust a side bar, but as you know it is much more difficult to write a book over just reading one.  Consider the relatively few people that are actually writing, and you can easily become amazed at how prolific a small portion of our "writing" global population can be.\n\nThe illiteracy rate in Africa, Arab Countires, and South Asia still to this day runs as high as 50% and more and also varies statistically by gender (male /female).

Bad: People want their students to get premium educations - but no one wants to pay for it.\n\nGood: Some students thrive and excel in the current system... and others... are scary.\n\nGood:  We strive towards the ideal that all people are created equally and are equally capable of succeeding in accomplishing their dreams.\n\nBad:  We deem failure when we don't meet the IDEAL... which is completely impractical anyway.\n\nBad: State testing... always wants to raise the bottom 50 percent to the top 50 percent.  Whoah... who taught the politicians their math? There will ALWAYS be a bottom 50 percent.
