What do I need to know to integrate technology into my classroom?

There are a number of elements that teachers must know to be able to apply the right ammount of technology into a classroom. We as teachers must be able to know how to operate different kinds of computers, along with the different variety's of programs on each computer such as excel, powerpoint, any types of smart boards, awareness of the internet and word. The ability to be able to manuever these different types of programs to benefit the way you teach your students is the whole point. This will do a number of things that will benefit the way teachers educate; it will make it more interesting and will make the students get a more real and simulated picture of the world as a whole. These programs are just a few of the many that we must learn in order to not only teach but to communicate with other teachers and the students parents and grade our papers and enterthem into the grade books.

Importance Of Technology in the Classroom

There are a number of reasons that intregrating technology into the classroom is of the utmost impotance and effiecency. First of all, there is no better way for students to learn then interacting and seeing what they are doing. I believe that to be true from PreSchool up to being a senior in high school. Also there are a number of different interesting actions and programs that teachers can take that will help them grab the students attentions and keep them interested in the subject area. From personal experience I know first hand what a great effect smart boards can have on a student because I was privledged enough that my teacher in calculus my senior year had one and I can attest to the assistance that they provide. However smartboards are just the beginning to what teachers can begin to display to students. I believe that as long as teachers know what they are doing when it comes to the program that they are showing that there is no end to what they can teach.
