This page is for my Educational Technology Class and I have added other things because I am having such a fun time learning how to do them. I don't have time to keep up two separate pages so I am adding a bunch of different things in with the required elements.

The students know how to use technology more than I thought although I wish they had more chances to do it. I was able to use technology this week in a guided reading lesson. We were beginning to read a book about kids in an Indian Jungle. I found some pictures of jungle animals and information about then online and I showed them to my group on a laptop. The students really enjoyed being able to look at them and were much more interested in the book afterwards because they has been able to see and actually find out more about the animals background. I think that it is important to be able to integrate technology in many different ways in the classroom, but this was a simple way that could be fast and easy to do everyday if needed. It would also be good to have the students look up the information themselves and share what they found with others.
