Tech+Integration

= Technology Integration   =

==== After watching “Welcome to the Digital Generation” I have come to understand the importance of technology integration in the classroom. At first, I wasn’t 100% on board with so much technology being used in the classroom, but after watching this clip, I have come to realize that it is the way of the future. I liked this video because it proves that kids today and the kids of tomorrow are growing up in a society in which technology is their life. It’s involved in their day to day activities, from entertainment to socializing to communication. I do believe there is a limit and an appropriate amount of technology integration, but am so excited to be a part of tomorrows learning environment. Also, after watching this video, I was introduced to many different ways on how to use technology in my future classroom. I plan on using technology such as Excel to keep track of attendance and grading, or WikiSpace to post assignments or group work for different classes. I personally love Blackboard. I love how everything from assignments, grades, calendars, contacts and even message boards can all be found in one place. Technology, in today’s world grabs kids’ imaginations and attention and allows them to be creative and independent, and I can’t wait to be a part of that world! ====
