essential conditions

After reading through this list i realized just how unimportant technology was my classrooms as i went through school. I currently am not teaching at a school so i cant speak to what a specific classroom or school is like; however, i can say that i wish we had more classes early on in my education on how to use the many resources the computer/other technology have to offer. I discovered and learned how to use these resources primarily on my own or not until high school when the computer more necessary for much of my work.
I think that in order for most of these essential conditions to be met we cant rely only on the school itself to do this we as teachers must be proactive in encouraging and pushing for them to be met. This can even mean bringing in our own technology to show just how helpful it can be in the classroom and maybe inspiring the whole school to do the same. Technology is key for any student and it is not only a shame to not provide and introduce it to them at a young age its a hindrance in their education.
