PLN#6

         What if? By Karl Fisch illustrates that students depend on technology to the point where They may worry teachers and school staff. Karl uses a podcast to describe that students rely on technology to "learn properly". By the quotes Karl presents, the teachers and school staff also seem uncomfortable as technology moves up. From the seventeen hundreds to the present he explains that the more technology grows, the more students rely on it. He also points that teachers may find it more expensive to buy these new materials. Karl proved his quotes by including the associations and teachers who said these quotes. He then moves the subject to how Arapahoe High School deals with the new technology. Lastly he puts In his own opinion about the new technology.

         What if? By Karl Fisch describes how we may be a little afraid of how technology is growing, and that, we maybe scared if we find out what would happen if technology disappeared . I would understand why teachers and school staff members are afraid to relay on new technology, because I would also be scared that we would relay on a type of technology that may run out or stop working. However I also think that it maybe a good thing to engage into this new technology. I feel as if, with the technology that we have now, that we are just moving up, like nothing can stop us. Karl also states that not only teachers are afraid of this technology, there are also school based associations that are concerned. I also like how Karl included Arapahoe High School, and how they deal with technology. he talks about how there are signs that read: Please keep your phone turned off or on silent at all times!
I think that not only are we afraid of the new technology, that we don't think of it as such a “huge” thing.
