Final Blog Post
I believe that it is very important to incorporate technology into the classroom because of the experience that the students today have with technology. All of the students today are growing up in an age where technology is being used everyday, so we need to show them that this technology is a tool that they can use to help further themselves in their education and life. Teachers have thousands of benefits from the use of technology. They can find more lesson plans, connect with other teachers from across the world, and simply make the classroom learning experience fun with the help of technology. The students experience different forms of technology everyday so we should try our best to use these different forms to help them learn. For example the students can use their phones in class to vote or answer questions that can be uploaded to the Internet and show to the entire class. I feel a major challenge of technology is the use. Many people use technology in their classroom but they do not know when it is the wrong time to use it or are ignoring regulations set by school districts. I will definitely use the electronic portfolio because I feel that this could help me show the employers that I know and understand technology and see it as an advantage instead of some teachers who are ignorant and try to keep to the old way of teaching. I have already used my lesson plan format template for my language arts class and it has been a huge time saver.
