Technology Integration Statement

Technology Integration: (1st blog)

My current thinking regarding the proper role of technology is that technology if appropriately used can be an essential tool for any teacher. One great example which comes to mind is the SMART board which is currently being used in various classrooms. The SMART board allows the teacher to enhance their lessons in a very fun and interactive way. I was able to observe the SMART board in action this past summer during a field experience assignment. I noticed that the students were very excited about participating if it meant they had an opportunity to use the SMART board. I thought that was awesome that students would show such excitement over a lesson.

I reviewed my Educational Philosophy and I wrote about being able to find or utilize various methods in order to adhere to the needs of several students, as well as keeping them enthusiastic about learning. I know that technology can be a great tool in classrooms. Technology allows for lessons to be more interactive, interesting, and memorable.
