Technology in the Classroom

     Through this assignment I have seen how beneficial technology can be in the classroom. From my own postings, and reading the blogs of other teachers and students, like Keeping Up With Trends, I have seen how much information can be relayed to a wide span of people. Through a  blog like this one, teachers can keep students and their families up on all the classroom news, homework, and other topics related to the classroom, but the best thing about blogs is the pictures, videos, and links! They are easy to put in and so helpful when trying to explain a topic, or just fun and entertaining.

     Implementing technology into the classroom through projects, visuals, and using tools like smart boards and ladibugs help teachers and students get the most out of their classroom. I have to admit that I am, for the most part, technologically unsophisticated, but I have learned a lot about the tools and resources that are available and how easy they are to use and how beneficial they can be. I definitely plan to incorporate a blog like this into my classroom, and I'm sure I will pick up plenty more tools and resources over the course of this semester.
