Lessons Learned

With in the websites I thought it was interesting to see what is available to the teacher that maybe some didn’t know existed. I liked the film on Why Integrate? It was so interesting to see how much technology that the school had available to them. Not only that but that the teachers were using it in the classrooms and knew how to use it. I liked how they integrated the technology into what the students were interested in. Whether it was science, cheerleading, music, etc. I also really liked the film Did You Know? Just like in the film we do need to be preparing our students for the 21st century and for those problems that haven’t come yet and those answers that are not there yet. The number s that were given in the film are amazing to me to that children are living in a world of technology and in order for our students to be functional in the world they need to technology at a young age.
From these readings and videos I have been able to see the importance of teaching our students technology. Students need to know it now, but even more importantly for the future, which is in their hands. By seeing all that is involved I can see that as a teacher I will need to set continual goals for my self to stay update on technology so that I can teach my students to the best that I can so that they are prepared for the future. We do not know what technology has in store for us but it is growing and being more and more available to all. It is our responsibility to make the students comfortable with it.
