Technology+Integration

** Technology Integration **

 * A great example of how technology integration is used within the classroom can be viewed in this [|video].**


 * This video was informative because it discussed methods of using technology I was previously not aware of. In today's world, technology is much more easy to get a hold of and so the appearance of it in schools has become more obvious. I like this because it gives so much more versatility and ability for the teacher to show and create lesson plans for students. We will have a little help as well. It will become a great resource if we are lucky enough to use it in the future. I feel that the video taught me that every aspect of a student's time in class could utilize technology allowing for more effective teaching and learning to take place.**


 * Understanding the importance of technology in the classroom was very obvious after viewing this video. It enlightened me on methods that teachers are currently using with their students. These children now stand a chance in having their progress monitored and examined through the use of computers, Smart boards, etc., in order to figure out their capacity. Technology will give the teachers an easier means of assessment and interaction with students. They will all get quality computer-to-student interaction at the same time, not the teacher trying to look at each student at once.**


 * The skills we used to develop as children such as handwriting and paper book reading seem to be on the verge of extinction. Although I am certain both will be used in the classroom, one has to wonder about what will happen to handwriting. My overall opinion is that the use of technology will allow the students to use their minds to a greater extent and to also see things that even I did not see when I was in grade school. I like that students will get the chance to experience a much more enriched classroom. To the best of my ability I will use technology to the extent I am capable of. Working at an inner-city school may not allow me to give every student a computer but I like to think I will use some time of technology whether it be Ipod, Ipad, my computer, or another means to show students a lesson.**
