What are some of the most important things that I have learned this semester about integrating technology into the classroom?

Some of the most important things that I have learned in the classroom that will help me integrate technology into the classroom in a smart and easy way. I loved the fact that we swept through the whole book and covered everything from powerpoint presentations to data base projects. All of it helped me realize that it is neccesary to integrate technology into the classroom today because technolgy is such a huge part of our lives. Through technology and a steady hand of guidance I believe I will be able to teach my students many things that will prepare them for the mondern world and its complicities. I had a great time learning all fo the different aspects of technolgy and how to choose the best way to use it to help keep our students involoved, interactive, interested, and guided throught our their learning process. In the future I will be prepared and ready and plan on continuing what I have learned in here and transferring it over to my students in the near future.

What technologies will I use and how will they benefit my students?

The most important tecnology that I will use as a teacher for my students is probably powerpoint presentations displayed on a smartboard, internet web searches on different topics and issues and then just Microsoft word so they willl be able to type out some of they given reports and reviews that I will want them to go over. However thoses aren't the only ones that I will be using as a teacher; but they are the most common and vital ones to jumpsatart my students technology IQ.
