#8: Summary of Research

Over the past few weeks I have delved into research about how new technology influences childhood socialization and education. The information I have gathered has definitely broadened my horizons on the topic, and gave me a clue of what I should expect in the future. Ultimately, I believe that technology is an important agent in childhood development and education. This is the direction that school systems are going, and I predict that in couple of years, schools across the country will have iPads in their classrooms. However, I also believe that there is a fine line that should not be crossed. While this educational/technological movement can be beneficial, too much technology could have negative consequences. Above all, balance is key. It has been a pleasure blogging about this interesting topic!
