I think leaning about technology is valuable because it is an important skill that we will use the rest of our lives.I think technology is a important part of our education because without it I wouldn't be doing this on the computer I would be doing this on a piece of paper. I feel like we should be certainly be lots of technology in our education because it makes research and other things easier. I think middle school technology would be the same as our technology in elementary school. I would like it if in middle school technology they gave out ipads and iphones and other apple things.
I think learning about technology is valuable because if none of your siblings know how to work a computer you can teach them. and if they do know then you can be on the same page as them. and in the future you can get a job for knowing how to work any kind of technology. you can be a broker or an accountant if you know a lot on technology.
I think that learning about technolagy is valuable, because the world is just going to get more and more advanced in technolagy, and you cannot just not know anything about technolagy, or you won't be able to get a job, or move on in life.
If you don't know how to use technolagy, it is almost like not knowing about it at all.
It is very important to my education, because now I can make nice Powerpoint presentations for my classes.
It should be part of elementery school education, so that in middle school you already have the knowlageof some computer things, like how to type on Word.
I think that the education in middle shool should use the same way to teach technolagy, just teach different things, usually harder things.I think in middle school we should get our sschool e-mail by then, and have that advantage, when using the computer.I also want to be able to use Ipads too.
I think technology is valuable because if you know how to work it you could teach someone else and also technology is very important in life.It is an important part of education because as you get older your going to need technology for school work an maybe extra credit.It should be part of elementary school so it improves that you know how to work an computer.I think middle school technology is going to be alot tougher and have more challenges.I would like it if we could be creative and draw pictures of challenging things on the computer.
I think learning about technology is valuable and an important part of our education. Technology is used in every day life. At jobs, at home, and even at school. Without having any background knowledge on how to use the high tech stuff around us, we won't know how to use it. And that is most likely going to be bad. Introducing it early to us will definitely help us later on. Having it be a part of elementary school education is a great idea. Since technology was in our elementary school education,I think technology will not be that appreciated at middle schools. I would like the middle schools to have a computer lab like us. But due to budget cuts, I doubt that will happen any time soon.

Technology is important because if we didn't have technology everything would be boring. Technology is important to me because if we didn't have it everything would be plain.
Technology is important to learn and
to use because if they were know technology out there it would be like ancient time, there would be know TV or anything, and if we had technology and and we didn't know how to use it, what is point of having technology that's why its so valuable.It is very important to learn in elementary school is one we are the next generation, lets we use iPads in middle school how would you know how to use the ipads.I think middle school technology would be way more advance then elementary.
I think Its voluable to learn about technology because if you didint you wouldint know how to use a T.v or a laptop.
I wouldint call technology a to important part of your education because its only one period a week.
I think it should be part of elementary school education because for the people who dont know how to use it could find out early in their life.
I think middle school technology education would be a little more chalenging you know like more programs, more goals, 1-5 assays.What id like it to be like is just a few more programs and id do almost anything to get a free time.
Thank You Godd Night
Learning about technology is important because it is everywhere. It is important to use it properly because it makes it easier. Yes, technology is an important part of education because when you grow up you will know how to use a computer better. Computers should be part of middle school education because the younger you start the more you will know and the easier it will be. In middle school I think it will be more advanced. I want to have some days where you could just have fun and do something like an art program.
Great comments, everyone.
Keep up the good work.
I think technology is important because you lern things that you did't know technology is like the tv if you don't have technolagy you woul'd not have a job and that is bab.
I think technology is important because if we didn't have technology we wouldn't be able to search things, use the computer,and call other people. If technology wasn't invented I would be doing this on a piece of paper. Without technology we wouldn't be able to learn how to use the computer. There wouldn't even be a thing called a computer. There wouldn't be computer class at schools.Technology also helps us learn new things like how to use power point and important things for the future. If we didn't know how to use technology we wouldn't know how to call people or have I phones and I pads. If technology wasn't invented people wouldn't be able to travel because planes and buses and cars need technology to work,and communication in the world would not be as fast as it is today.
I think learning how to use technology is important to everyone. Like disabled kids for example. If they can't talk the technology will help them to talk. It does help us with our education because in middle school, high school and collage, teachers will ask you to type up assignments on the computer. We should use technology such as iPads, computers, etc in middle school because so we could be more advanced. I think it would be cool in middle school if we could use technology with every subject we have or get. For instance writing. I love technology.
I think technology is important because without it we wouldn't be able to travel faster or find out what's happening all over the world.
Another reason I think technology is important is that we would be cold and we would also be living in the darkness plus without technology the world would be very dangerous because the military uses technology to protect us from enemy's.
Technology is important to me because technology is fun!I could go on youtube and get clues for my shooting game (Grand Theft Auto IV).So I have to give credit to technology cause if we didnt have technology,kids wouldnt have fun!
Happy Holidays!

I think learning about technology is valuable because you get to learn about new things and new stuff. Technology is everywhere the more we learn the more knowledge we get from it.
I think it is important to our education because when your a kid and you use a computer you get more advance and when your an adult you already know how to use the computer.
Computers should be allow for children to use in elementary school because there's so many fun things we can do on a computer and we are also learning at the same time.
I think middle school technology will be like computers that we can use any time and we can use it for research and stuff.It will be fun if we can play games and do research on fun topics when we have free time.
I think that technology is valuable to me because it helps us learn faster. It also helps by being sort of like an easier to use piece of paper. It can also make/put on presentations. It also is a good way to keep your kids out of trouble. It also is part of a modern society and it helps us do a lot of things like complex equations and what words mean and other stuff to. I would like it if that they would do the old stuff and introduce new applications. I don't know what it would be like in middle school.
I think everyone should know how to use technology. If we did not know how to use a computer, for example, then none of us would have been able to do this homework.
I think technology is an important part of our education because teachers will ask you to type out reports and you have to know how to work with technology to do that.
I believe that technology should be part of an elementary school education because, like I said before, teachers will ask you to type up reports.
I think middle school computer class will teach us stuff that is similar to what we have already learned. I hope that our assignments aren't too hard and that the class is fun.
I think that learning and learning about how to use technology properly is very valuable. If it weren't for my dad, my family would be spending a lot more money on electronics!
I think technology is important to our (elementary school) education. We need to use at least some technology every day!
And for middle school technology,I have no idea; but I do know those computers will be overworked!
-Cassie
I think learning about technology is valuable because then we will know how to use computers whenever we have to. Technology is a important part of our education because without it I wouldn't be doing my computer homework on a computer right now. It should be part of elementary school education because then it teaches kids to reaserch stuff and help them write reports for school. I think middle school technology might be more advanced, and that we might learn more about computers and stuff that you do on them. I would want to learn how to make a website and maybe have free time sometimes to do anything on the computers.
I think technology is valuable because if there was no technology people would not be able to text let alone call someone to keep in touch with that person. Also without technology we would have i-pods to listen to our favorite songs on. Technology is something that we find in our every day lives and we use constantly. For my last reason of how technology is valuable to me is, with out technology a majority of my Christmas presents would not of existed.
I think that learning about technology is important because when you grow up and you want to be someone that works with computers or something that is technology and you didn't know how they worked you would get fired.
I think that middle school technology would include how to make a website or how to make very long documents in the computer.
I think that learning technology is valuable because in higher grades there will be a lot of projects tat have to be printed.
Yes it it an important part of your education because now knowing about technology I can do reports that are printed out and some poowerpoints.
Tecnology education should be part of elementary education because we have fun andwe are ready for higher grades.
It depends in the middle school you go to and their time they put in the class.i think it will be hard.I would like to get some ipads.
I think technology is very useful because without technology we couldn't be doing this homework right now and we couldn't look things up our go on our class website and learn new things and communicate with other people that live far away so I think that it is very very important and valuable so you need to know how to use it correctly also like i said before it is a big part of our education yes it should be a part of elementary school education middle school technology will be more challenging but not by much because we know all the basics. I hope it is not that much harder than it is now.
ayoub s .
i think learning about technology is valuable because if we did not learn how to use i we will be like cavemen.we also won't know how to turn on a computer. and play games like adventure quest
I think learning about technology is good. Technology is an important thing we need today. As I learn in today’s world technology is used more to help us.
I think technology is an important part of our education because we get to learn more of what life has for us. Next year I would be in middle school and I know that technology will help me. In middle school technology will make learning easier and more exciting. I see my older sister who is in the 12th grade how she needs to write essays her homework is done on a computer .she gives it to her teachers in an email. In this school we do science work in iPads and I learned that soon every class will be this way.
Yes Technology should be used in elementary school because Technology is another way of teaching. Technology can make it easier for the students to help one another understand math, readings, facts on science and history.
I think the technology in middle school would be the same it would just help me with middle school work. I want technology in middle school to be fun and helpful to me with my learning.
I think learning about technology is very valuable because if you don't know that throwing everything in the trash is bad you might end up wiping out your computer. Or you could really end up hurting your computer by installing too many things. Computer is very important to learn for me because I don't want to accidentally hurt my moms or my dads computer and I want to be able to use a computer the right way!
I think it should be part of elementary school education because we all have computers in our class rooms so, it would be really bad if we don't know how to use a computer and we start opening all kinds of things on our class computers and we install something bad. We could hurt the computer!
I think middle school technology may or may not exist as a class! There may be just a computer room to help us do our homework after and before school and for teachers to do their work for classes! I would like it to be more free but I also like learning about how to use micro soft word or power point presentations because if I don't know how to do that I will have an issue when I am told to make a power point presentation for science or any other subject!
A1. Yes, learning about technology is very important, because we live in a technological age and in the future, when more stuff is invented we'll have a better understanding of how to use it.
A2.Technology is definitely an important part of your education, because when you are very skilled in the subject, you will have a bigger and better chance of getting a job.
A3. Yes, because if you start to learn the subject, technology earlier you will have a better understanding of it when we are older.
A4. I am not sure what they will teach us in middle school, but I'd like it to be like we make are own websites and learn to make our own minigames by telling the computer what to do.

I think learning about technology is valuable because it allows us to research facts and important information on everything. It is also an important part of our education because it will allow us to be better prepared for the future. Yes,it should be part of elementary school education because we learn how to prepare reports and assignments using the computer. I know that some middle schools offer graphic arts courses and other computer classes and I would be interested in learning more.
I think learning how to use technology is both valuable and non valuable. I say this because in school the only time we use technology is to search something also to type something up. In some jobs you might want to use a comuter but that deosn't mean all jobs do. For example:a farmer. A farmer deosn't use technology to take of all the animals or the crops in the field. He Uses the many tools for all his tasks. I think using technology can be a part of elementary , but books, paper,pencil,pens, should all come before computers,iPads ,mp3 players,iPods ,etc... In middle school I do expect for most of our classes to have some type of technology in it.
I think that learning about technology and how to use it is very impotant. If we didn'tknow how to use it properly, we really couldn't research things. Technology is very efficient so if we didn't learn about it, things would take a lot longer.
Technology is a very important part of our education, because we can't print if we don't know a lot about technology, so everything would be hand written. Also, if children didn't learn about it now, when they grow up, nothing will make sense bbecause with each passing minute, somebody is trying to improve on something.
Technology shhoul certainlly be a part of elementary school education because middle schools expect kids to know how to properly use technology. Also, by the time we get to middle school, technology will be more advansed.
Technology in middle school will be more advansed and more mature than elementary school, because the kids will be more older and more responsible.
I would like us to use ipads and allways do a presentation using technology, not written on paper.
I think learning about technology is very valuable.I think technology is very valuable because it will help you when you get a job.
Technology is an important part of your education because if you had to type a report, you wouldn't know how to because you never learned how to type and use the internet.
I think technology should be a part of our education because we could play games, have fun and still learn.
I think middle school technology will be lots of web searching and typing reports. I want middle school technology to be lots and lots of fun. I also hope that there won't be a lot of reports. I hope we will learn how to make animations on the computer too.
Techonology is valuable to me because thanks to it there have been many discoveries. Almost everything now days is done through a computer which is part of technology. I think learning about technology helps me get prepared for the future because things will be more technologically advaced. Maybe all homework in the future might have to be done using a computer. Thanks to technology this world has advanced so much.

I think technology is very important with out it our world wouldn't be the way it is ,so wonderful.
Technology is also a important part of our education it gives us advanced education,it also has answers to questions no one else can answer! TECHNOLOGY MAKES LEARNING FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Technology is valuable to me because without technology I would not be able to use the computer for homework and other things.
Yes I do think learning to use technology is importinant. And If you don't now how to use technology you will break technology. Yes technology is a importing part of my education.Yes it shoud be part of education for everyone. I want it to be like 5th grade . But a little more challenging.
I think that leearning about technology and how to use it is very valuable. I think it is valuble because it is like having a portable library at your fingertips. I think that it is a skill that our generation and future generations are going to have to learn about and use for the rest of our lives. I think that it is an important part of my education because, education is about learning and if we don't learn about it now, then when will we have that chance? I think that it should remain to be part of elementary school education because, if we don't learn about it now, then it will be difficult to get used to in middle school. I think that middle school technology education will be just like this technology education. fun and productive. I hope that we will learn how to use other types of technology, like the ipad, ipod touch, or the iphone. I also hope that I will take one more step higher, in technology education.
- Allison M.
Yes, because technology is like math! People count and give and get money. Those are all math stuff.
Its important because education helps you go farther in peoples life. Like elementary first, junior high school second, high school third, and collage forth. Education helps people go to the next level.
Yes because elementary school is one of the things that education helps.
I think it will be fun to do technology in middle school because middle school gives kids a lot of responsibility.
Learning how to use technology is important. The earlier you start, the better, because then you have more experience for when you have to use it in the future. I'm guessing that in middle school we will have to learn harder things: like learning how to download pictures onto your computer and how to change them. That's what I want to learn.
I think learning about technology is valuable because I use word for most of school projects and if I did not get technology class I would not be able to use it. It is an important part of my education because it is a fun class that I like. I think it should be part of our education because it helps us get ready for the technology age. I think that middle school technology education will be like elementary technology education and I want it to be interesting and fun.
I think technology is valuable because it lets us do many different things like play games or find information. it is important to our education because it lets us type reports or research stuff. I think it should be part of our education because it lets us use word or power point for school projects. I want middle school technology to be like the way we learn it now. I think it will be like what we are doing now but we will be doing more advanced things.
I think technology is important because without technology, none of us would be able to do research that fast. We wouldn’t have a school website, we wouldn’t have our class blogs. We either wouldn’t be doing this or we would have to do it on a piece of paper, or on a board, or some other third thing. Technology is a HUGE part of our education because we can do research faster, and gather up information to write an assigned report. People wouldn’t even know what a computer was. Technology allows us to call your friends, watch TV, or maybe even power modern planes. If we didn’t have technology planes might not even exist or you will have to power the planes manually. The company Apple wouldn’t even exist. If we didn’t have technology, iphones, ipods or ipads could never have been invented. Technology is life, everywhere you go you will see people with any phone, planes up is the sky, cars are powered with technology, or buses, or really any transportation. Today things are much easier with technology in our world. People can now research much faster. Thanks to technology, doing work and talking on a phone or any sort of communicating with your friend or relative is now easier. I am happy we have technology with us.
Yes I do think using technology and learning about it is valuable because without it I would not be able to learn the things I learn.Technology is important part to my education because it teaches me to use everyday things involving technology.Yes it should be part of elementary school education because it teaches us to use technology at an young age.In middle school I think it will be more difficult and challenging.I hope it will be like the one in elementary school but more challenging.
I think technology is something important to learn about in school.Knowing how to use technology is important because without technology it is a lot harder to do thing that are easy to do with it.We definitely need to learn about it in elementary school.I think in middle school we should learn more about how to fix common computer problems like the computer freezng.
I think learning about technology and how to use it is valuable. Technology is always important to our education.It should be part of elementary school education.I think they would teach us how to make a website or our own computer games.I would like them to teach how to make the animation for the computer games we make.
1. Yes, because technology helps me complete my assignments. Plus I am developing a skill.
2. Yes, technology is an important part of my education. The use of technology helps me learn important information.
3. Yes, technology should be a part of elementary school education. Technology help children learn history facts.
4. When my sister was in middle school she did a lot of power point presentations, so I guess I will be doing the same.
I think learning about technology is valuable becaus it's like going into a new world with lots of different things. If you don't know how to use a computer or any other technology stuff, then you might give it a virus or shut it down forever!
I think technology is an important part of education because, it is a convenient way of teaching something or learning something.
I think technology should be apart of elementry school, it would be so boring in school.
In middle school I think it will be kind of a review from elementry school. I think it will be really fun!
I think technology is valuable because we get to express ideas and share information. It is also fun to use ipads,iphones,computers.
The first of technology I remember using was my game console.
I think that technology will look and be more advanced in 5 years, because technology help improves peoples lives and society. As time passes technology is updated to better our lives. Some eamples of technology that I thimk will exist in 5 years are a computer that have a built in fan to cool you off, a space ship that goes to alien planets and a robot that can predict the miles dtiven by a car.
I think learning about technology is important because if you don't know how to work technology you won't be able to do much stuff.For example on the computer you can work the internet to get any information you need or even play on a i pad, etc.It is also valuable because if you were to buy a computer it would cost a lot of money.It is part of your education because you can be a programmer, and do many other stuff like search information, etc.This makes it a big part of your education.It should be a part of your elementary school education because it is a big part of society.I think middle school technology would be harder and be more advanced (learn new stuff). I would like to learn how to make animations and movies in the future.
I think that learning about technology is very important and it should be taught every where. Technology is growing and it is beginning to be a big part of life. that is why it is beginning to become just as important as math or science or anything else. It is important to be prepared on how to make a power point presentation or put pictures on word. If you get a computer for a lot of money and you don't know how to work it. Learning how to use tech puts you at an advantage point in life.
I think learning about technology and how to use it properly is important because in our generation, technology is becoming a major part of our lives. It is an important part of my education because I am expected to use it in more that one subject. I use it in Science, gym, art, math, and computer. Technology should be part of elementary school education, because we have to use it in all the place we go after elementary school. I think middle school technology will be used more often, expected more of, and very common in any classroom. I hope it is like what we do in school now, but used more for projects, research, and lessons.
Joshua Williams
1. I think learning about technology and how to use it properly is valuable because if we can figure out how to look up information or find facts about stuff.
2. I think it is an important part of my education because it would to assist my learning so I can find out new things and understand them better.
3.It should be part of elementary school education because it is another resource to help students learn.
4. I think middle school technology will be a bit more dificult than elementry school technology that I am using now.I would like the tecnology to be similar to P.S.10's tecnology so it would be simpler for me and probably the other students too.

I think technology is very inportant because when we are bored we can play with our game systems instead of sittinmg there doing nothing but getting hit by our brothers.
I think technology is very inportant because it helps you with your research on the Empier State Building or on the body of water and also war.
It's also very useful for elementary school because it helps you do your reports and it might give you the homework for today or yestorday so by the time you get back to school you have all the homework so you would't get in truoble!!!!
