Week 1

One thing that really stood out to me after reading the text is how important technology is and how it is not going anywhere anytime soon. It is so vital to realize how much technology can enhance a classroom and encourage students feel more invested in the class. Our students are going to need to be able to adapt to the changes to come in technology and be able to utilize it everyday. We must give them the opportunity to incorporate these technological tools in our classrooms as well as explore Literacy, in order to help prepare them for their futures. One link that I found extremely interesting, examines technology in the classroom and proper and best practices. It details how technology improves learning and how "we" as educators can attempt to make this learning fun, intriguing, and engaging.  

As for expectations of this class, I am very excited to learn more about technology and incorporating it into the classroom. I cannot wait to utilize and explore through even more resources in order to improve my learning environment. It is so important for me to stay current with technology and the ever-changing and developing tools.
