Technophobic versus technophilic

I do think that no addiction is good,technophilic is an addiction but technophobic is not OK either , we as teachers are in charge of take care about what our students use to do ,being a technophilic is not good ,why? because the people use to forget about other activities that are healthly such as different sports ;soccer,swimming, or any other sport ,so parents are also responsibles of our children's habits with computers and other technological objects . I do think much technology creates dependency in new generations , because nowadays teenagers are just worried about their cell-phones and sometimes they forget to their homework ,i mean in every single aspect of the life we have to get a balance between different terms , even though i am not again technology , it is really helpful and useful nowadays ,it make us to be in contact with everything what is going on around the world, also is important in order to communicate and realize about events that are happening in other countries that is why technophobic is not good either , because a technophobic person could be isolated from actuality if he or she is afraid about computers or mass media .
Finally , based on my personal experience i do believe that any of the extremes (technophobic, technophilic) are good habits ,keep a balance and enjoy the adventages that technology provides will be my advice.

the roll of technology in education

I do think that technology let us as teachers , transmit knowledge being creatives , and it catches the children's attention , nowadays most of the students are interested in technology even though it could be dangerous . Technology and the web is almost free to the usage of averybody,when a child is in front of his or her computer , we as teachers must take care about what they are doing or watching.
There are many adventages that technology provide us as teachers, nowadays ,I could send a homework to my students if they have gotten their e-mails already, before it was not possible , technology in classroom make us creatives and let us teach in an easier way , you could create interesting games or your own material in order to teach an specific topic...new technologies are providing us the opportunity to create variety of dynamic activities , these technologies enable students to enter an enviroment where they can explore and search different topics and then they get their objectives
