I feel like this assignment has helped me a lot in realizing everything that technology can bring into the classroom. Technology can make the learning more personal and meaningful. I really liked one of the videos you had us watch called, "Why Integrate." The technology that was in that high school was amazing! I had no idea how to do anything they were talking about, but it made me curious and want to know more. In this movie they talked about E-Click, where everyone in the classroom has a remote, and is involved. I like that you read the question and answers off the screen then each person answers the questions by pointing their remote at the TV. My favorite part is that the teacher can go back and see what every person answered, so that is how she can assess them. I thought it was a wonderful tool and the kids loved it!
Some of my concerns might be that i will have to stay up on the new and cool technology. I know that my students will know all the new and great things that are coming out and i will have to keep up and know how to use them. I can get very comfortable in my normal routine and i don't really need the new and great things, esspecially with technology. I know that i can do it though. I have wonderful resources all around me, that will let me keep up to date and be the best that i can be. It can be challenging to use technology, but i know that it will be worth the effort!
