Reflection #1

Today I was asked to post a reflection on technology and how I might integrate it into my future classroom.

This is a totally loaded question to ask. I could go from tangent to tangent concerning my opinion on different types of technology and how I might integrate them into my classroom.

I am loving all of the different things that are available through the Internet. Some of the things that pop into my mind are the things that we touched on in class today, G-mail, blogger, and facebook, just to name a few. All wonderful resources that can be used interactively with a class.

What a great way for a teacher to stay in touch with her students outside of the classroom. It is also so important that students in this day and age understand how to utilize the wonderful technology that is available to them. So often technology is viewed as something that attributes to antisocial behavior, but with all of the things that are available (previously mentioned) technology can be used as a way for students to stay social and interactive while connecting through a learning opportunities and assignments.

All in all, I am excited for technology and the ways that I will be able to utilize it in my classroom. I am enjoying learning about new technologies and the ways that I will be able to utilize them in my future career.
