Tech+Intergration

The vidoe I choose to watch and reflect on is called, Technology provides parents a link from home to school. I liked this video because it showed how a school in South Carolina is using technology to keep the parents involved in students school life. I also found it very interesting that this school is using computers and technology in pretty much every aspect of their teaching. It seems to be working and keeping the children involved and excited about what they are doing and learning. I learned there are many tools for ways of teaching any subject. These tools help the students be creative and explore and learn at their own pace. There are many programs and websites to help guide students through research and projects.

After watching these videos I realized that technology is everywhere and every child and student uses technology in their everyday life so it is very important to incorperate some of that into teaching and in the classrooms. I feel like its important because technology continues to grow and maybe one day soon everything will be done electronically. The technology that is out there now will be improved every year so it is important to keep up with it. It is also a very helpful learning tool because of the information out there, that is easy to get. I plan to bring computers into my room and have several centers set up for students to do some kind of assignment or game using the tools on the internet or CD roms. Set up some experiments they need to keep watching through out the year. Also to set up games they can play that will help them learn but also stay engaged in learning through technology.
