"Engage or Enrage"

I believe that the learners of today do use a lot more technology in and out of school. Students who are lucky enough have the newest and latest technology out. Although it is forever changing and students are learning different things, as a student HPE teacher, the more learners use technology there is likely to be an increase  in obesity in children as they will rely to much on technology for their way of life. Students may go home after school and 'chat' with friends on the computer, listen to music on the computer, do their homework on the computer. I did all this when I was at school but in a completely different context. I do agree that some teaching should be taught with technology, but not all. Students will start to depend on that technology and will not know how to do things where technology is not needed. Yes students might think it may be boring doing things the old fashioned way, but thats where our teaching and learning styles play a part, to make sure the content is being taught in a way that all students will stay motivated while they learn.
