Technology: Friend or Foe

One of the biggest issues in today's schools is the use of technology. This has been an issue for some time but it is not until now that society has seen the after affects of students with and without skills in technology. We have also come into an era where an individual can not help but be affected by technology.

One thing that has created this sudden need to know technology is the Internet. The Internet is a great resource in finding information and learning information which is just a click away. It also has the partition of cutting work time in half when booking a hotel room or searching for the town with the longest name in the world. The Internet can also be like a Pandora's jar. There are chat rooms, where people do not have to know each other to be able to talk to one another. There are also porn sites that students, or websites with inappropriate pictures for certain age groups.

But because skills in technology are in such high demand, how can a school or teacher not use it to help teach students. Like all other teaching tools before the Internet and computers, teachers need to use these tools with caution. Before computers, teachers had to decide which books were the best for their students or what method of teaching the teacher should use to teach the unit or subject, and they still do.

In today's society students need to know how to use technology as tool to help them achieve in life, but teachers need to guide students and warn them of the dangers just like with any other tool.

Is This Really Needed

Wow, I must of saved this as a draft and not published it, sorry for the lateness

Vagina Monologues, is an event that all most all women on Luther Campus look forward too. Auditions for this event become a big to do, and all those who auditioned feel they have the right to be in it. These auditions could remind someone of other musical or sporting auditions that happen on campus, in which the student body must deal with hearts breaking and feelings being hurt. But these feels are normal when it comes to auditions like these.

But is the actual play needed in today's society?
After personal watching Vagina Monologues for the first time, and seeing some of my friends in it, a part of me felt that all adult women should see this, but then a part of me felt like this was way too much. After talking to others about the play I found that this is a normal response. One fellow classmate said, "We don't go around talking about our asses or butt cheeks so why do we have Vagina Monologues?" Though the actually show was very put together nicely and it was a very big eye opener, I just feel that this might be a little too much.
