Technology in the classroom has come a long way in the last few decades. With this new influx of technology into our society it would only make sense that technology would soon make its way into the teaching world as well. Technology plays a massive role an influencing a teacher on what he or she teaches. It is now not only acceptable to prepare students for the 3R's, these students will need to be technological literate as well. Technology in the classroom not only encourages the 21st century way of teaching but supports it as well. Teachers have to ensure a place for their students in society and teaching them with technology is a huge step. One of the ISTE standards that is most meaningful to me is creativity and innovative because growing up learning did not come easy to me so I always had to be creative in the ways I taught myself the assigned material.

(1) ILP “Twitter Chat ”

For my individual learning project I chose to participate in a educational twitter chat. Because of my newly found interest of Twitter from our assigned Twitter account I have learned to really like this application.

Blog Set Up

My experience with technology in the past has been fairly above average. My high school was very technology driven, we were all given Ipads instead of textbooks so I know how to work these products well. Because I was given an ipad in high school I believe I rely on technology more than others because that is how I am use to going through school. From a young age I has always loved technology and was quick to understand on how it worked.  I also have been working on programs like word, power point and excel since middle school and understand almost all they have to offer. What I hope to gain from this class is a better understanding on how technology can and does improve the teaching world. Since I have grown up with technology in the classroom I have seen the benefits it brings to the students and teachers and would like for it to do the same within my classroom. With the help of this class I hope to sharpen the skills I  have and learn new things. This class will help open...
