A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dinosaur

My apologies for the outburst that was the last post. I wasn't sure what to write, and it was one in the morning, so i went a little crazy. I promise I wont eat you. Anyway, my name is Bailey and I'm an English majoring sophomore at UMD.   I hope to gain an edge in teaching, but am not entirely sure how I feel about the ethics of making using technology in a classroom. I feel as though kids today spend enough time in front of screens at home, and if they're constantly in front of screens in school as well, I'm guessing that isn't exactly good for them. I've read several studies that indicate that prolonged screen exposure actually shrinks the neurocortex in the brain. Aren't we supposed to do the opposite of that as teachers? I suppose moderation is the key, but I don't think that high school students really know the meaning of the word.
