The Role of Technology in my Profession and Life 

cellphones in class  

As a 21st century language teacher, I have found myself using technology when teaching, by instance, when planning or learning a something new for my lessons. Personally speaking, I am not very fond on technological reliance. I have my reasons why. First, I love technological devices, but sense them extremely time consuming (probably that's why I dislike my mobile) I tend to think that technology should be humanised.

Although technology seems to be immerse in every aspect of my profession, I am like find spaces to avoid it time to time. I remember a few years back, by instance, electricity power went off at the faculty where I was dictating a class. I did not have much troubles to catch up and continue with paper based activities. My students did not notice the lack of technological support. However, more and more people involved in education seems to rely too much on technology...

 Television in the classroom

On the other hand, TV's, PC's and CD's aren't what you could consider as much as technology since they are so attached to people's mind mould today. In many occasions, I see my profession under the same prism and sometimes I envision a classroom packed up with all sorts of devises, which I believe do not make a lesson the better learning experience for learners.

In the end, I believe that technology is here to stay. The thing is to be wise enough to manage it and not the other way round.
