What Do I Know and Think About Integrating Technology in the Classroom?

I don't know a whole lot about integrating technology in the classroom. I have seen technology improve tremendously over the years of my education. From the first computers in the classrooms that were basic Mac's and Windows, to Smartboards by the time I graduated high school, I have seen all extents of technology. I am familiar with most things, but I would not trust myself necessarily to use some of these newer technologies. I think that integrating technology in the classroom is essential for our children to stay with technology in the 21st century, a time period where change is happening faster than ever. I love technology and appreciate all the new technilogical advances that have been made in the recent past. I look forward to being able to use technology in my classroom in the future to enhance my students learning experiences.

  1. I think agree with you that are children/student need to be up on the new technologies to further their education... but I feel as a teach it's made to be too important. As an art teacher to be I really feel that I need to stay really hands on with everything, and to take a few steps away from the computers. Too much of a good thing maybe?

  2. Hi Carly! I really agree your opinion about the integrating technology in the classroom.I don't know a lot in this area too and I think I will keep studying and increase knowledge as much as I can.
    You think that integrating technology in the classroom is essential for our children to stay with technology in the 21st century,that's exactly right.Without the technology today in the classroom,maybe the class can not keep teaching.I love to use the technology in the class too.I think when I see one of my students use the technology very well because of me,I will feel so happy and learn more to enhance my skills!
