The issue I want to talk about in relation to technology in the classroom is the loss of tactile skills becasue of gained knowledge on the computer. Tactile skills are skills learned from hands on learning with games, being active, and engagement. When learning on the computer or incorporating a lot of technology you loose a lot of the time that would be otherwise used for tactile learning. My concern is not whether or not tactile learning will occur, becasue clearly it would never be removed from a classroom. My concern, however, is that there will be too little tactile learning and teaching occuring with the growing use of technology.
