	Witty Richard Styner<br/>
	</h1><h2 class=”output_h2″> A Short Story<br/>
	by RStyner</h2>
	<div class=”blurb”><p>Richard Styner had always loved deserted San Leandro with its jolly, joyous jungle. It was a place where he felt jumpy.</p>
	<p>He was a witty, ruthless, beer drinker with wide eyes and fluffy toenails. His friends saw him as a lonely, long lawyer. Once, he had even revived a dying, blind person. That’s the sort of man he was.</p>
	<p>Richard walked over to the window and reflected on his dirty surroundings. The snow flurried like eating foxes.</p>
	<p>Then he saw something in the distance, or rather some<i>one</i>. It was the figure of A teacher. A was a grateful friend with chubby eyes and wobbly toenails.</p>
	<p>Richard gulped. He was not prepared for A. </p>
	<p>As Richard stepped outside and A came closer, he could see the purple glint in his eye.</p>
	<p>A gazed with the affection of 5983 admirable hot humming birds. He said, in hushed tones, “I love you and I want a resolution.”</p>
	<p>Richard looked back, even more puzzled and still fingering the crumpled rock. “A, I shrunk the kids,” he replied.</p>
	<p>They looked at each other with lonely feelings, like two hot, high-pitched humming birds walking at a very vile snow storm, which had piano music playing in the background and two noble uncles sitting to the beat.</p>
	<p>Richard regarded A’s chubby eyes and wobbly toenails. “I feel the same way!” revealed Richard with a delighted grin.</p>
	<p>A looked unstable, his emotions blushing like a tender, thirsty teapot.</p>
	<p>Then A came inside for a nice drink of beer.</p>
	THE END

Richard Styner Educational Technology

While technology can be a powerful tool in the classroom, it also has its drawbacks. Here are some of the most common ones:

1. Distraction: Technology can be a major distraction for students, especially when it comes to smartphones and social media. Students may be tempted to check their phones or browse social media during class, which can negatively impact their learning ¹.
2. Technical difficulties: Technology can be unpredictable, and technical difficulties can arise at any time. This can be frustrating for both teachers and students, and can disrupt the flow of the lesson ².
3. Cost: Technology can be expensive, and not all schools have the budget to invest in the latest devices and software. This can create an unequal learning environment, where some students have access to technology while others do not ².
4. Lack of personal interaction: Technology can make it difficult for students to interact with each other and with their teachers on a personal level. This can lead to a lack of engagement and a decrease in motivation ³.
5. Over-reliance on technology: While technology can be a useful tool, it should not replace traditional teaching methods entirely. Over-reliance on technology can lead to a lack of critical thinking skills and a decrease in creativity ⁴.

It’s important to remember that technology should be used to supplement and enhance traditional teaching methods, not replace them. By using technology in a thoughtful and strategic way, teachers can help to create a more engaging and effective learning environment for their students.

Richard Styner is an educator and has been using Technology in the classroom for more than a decade. He has a MAT from Brown University in Science Teaching and a Master of Science in Educational Technology from CSU Fullerton and teaches in California
