How can using technology in my future classroom help me improve my teaching practice?

Using technology in my future class room can help my overall practice by a number of ways. First of all it allows the students to be able to interact whether its through groups or individually. Secondly it can also be used as an information base for the students whe doing online web searches for projects. I as a teacher can use virtual reality, games, movies and powerpoints as a way to entertain my students while teaching them. This is where the biggest advantages lie, we as teachers all must learn ways to incorporate our teachings and lesson plans into technology based application because the future is technology and we must prepare our students of today for tomorrow's challanges. I will incorporate ways to involve my students in technology as a way of teaching them not only my subject area but also the technology that they are applying along the way; this will be part of what my curriculm as a teacher but I will also leave my students more well informed in more ways then one when they leave my classroom.
