My thinking about using technology in the classroom has definitely changed for the better. I used to only think that technology involved computers and that you could use it sometimes to supplement curriculum or for a special project. I now know that technology can be used every day and that there are many different forms and ways to use it. The internet is a huge resource and there are so many tools out there that I had no idea existed, things that I didn’t even know where possible. I still think that all of the things I said in my first blog post:
• Technology’s role is to supplement a curriculum.
• Teachers can use technology such as computers, Smart boards, etc. to help students learn in different ways.
• It can be used to help students practice and understand a concept from a lesson better.
• Different Resources (i.e. internet)
• Giving students a different hands on experience
• Helps teachers to branch out and change teaching habits
• Communication
• Global Networking
Are true, but now I know there is even more that technology can offer. I am making a blog for my summer trip to Europe this summer and this is something that I would have never thought to do before this class. I am excited to be able to integrate technology into my classroom and I hope that I can continue to expand my knowledge of technology and probably have my students teach me a thing or two as well!
