1)+Technology+Intergration

This is a reflection essay about technology integration in to education and the classroom.

There were many parts of this video that I found interesting and enjoyed. I think it is interesting that almost all the learning at the school was project-based, which I’m guessing is probably the most effective and efficient way to use all the technology available to the students to maximize their experience. I also liked how the video showed different application for technology for different subjects. For example, having students working in literacy by participating in online discussions about the “Fantasy” genre and having them use a SmartBoard to do vocabulary and spelling.

Many of today’s students use more technology before they even start school than ever before. It is for that reason, and many others, that it is important that we as educators employ as many technological resources as possible to help facilitate learning in a high-tech world. As students continue with their education, technology is going to become more accessible and available to them. The more familiar these students are with new technology and computer system, the faster they will be able to use them to learn. The rate at which students consume digital information on a daily basis is astounding and if you put a book in front of them and ask them to just sit and read, The are less likely to affectively learn than if it were interactive and engaging.
