I believe you are right. Technology has taken control of our kids these days. So the question is, as an educator, how do we use this technology to teach our children. A lot of ways can be done to integrate these knowledge of technology in our daily teaching. And as a Cohort Team of 09, I believe we can collaboratively create a blog where we can download lessons plans, activities, resources or create links to helpful website, etc..., and make the address accessible for other teachers as well as students for them to access and be able to learn and use whatever we have down load. Come on guys, we know our curriculum (inside and out), so we have an idea of what kind of materials and resources we need to teach a particular lesson. What do you say? Then we could say that the Teacher's control the technology to educate the students....How's that!

Mayl, maybe you're right, we need to integrate more use of technology in the classroom these days because of course we're in this age of high technology and we can't go back in time, however, I think we can use it to teach the young generation of the basics like how this technology came about and how lucky they are to be in this age. A good example is using google earth to look at historical sites and explain how they came about. Its important for kids to realize their origins and slow down. Let them know that technology didn't give birth to them and nurture them. Make them to realize other more important values than technology.
