Current View of Technology

My current view of technology hasn't really changed prior to taking this class. I have always thought technology is something that should most definitely been incorporated into the classroom because of all the many resources available through the internet and other technology. This course has definitely opened my eyes to different strategies and fun and interesting ways to use technology in the classroom. For example, I have learned about several different software programs for students and teachers to use which most definitely enhance learning. My current view of technology is that when used effectively and to minimize distractions, students can have a great learning experience. I feel that technology can help students realize all the different ways a task can be done, such as research and putting together projects. I am most definitely going to use technology in my classroom for several different things. I will use technology for communicating with parents, constructing letters/newsletters to send home, coming up with activities for my students, having my students do research and look at different educational cites, and so much more. Technology is a great resource, and I'm excited to see what else is in store during my career as a teacher.
