This new technology integrated in to education is an amazing movement. As an educator I will need to make an extreme effort to keep up with technology and how it can be used in the classroom. I see myself using things like the ladybug. smart boards, you tube, and the web. I would also love to have access to computers in the classroom and use interactive educational games as a center. These tools will greatly assist me in reaching the different styles of my students. One example being media. Media has great potential in reaching students who learn visually, auditory, and if there is something like a song with the video then the kinesthetic learners will be reached as well.
Helping students evaluate the accuracy and appropriateness of content on the web. Before allowing the students to search there needs to be clear guidelines. The classroom can spend some time at the beginning of the school year and cover the guidelines of the internet. The web allows the students to discover the information rather than just memorize and repeat the lecture. I believe that using these tools in the classroom would be extremely beneficial to the student, the teacher and the classroom as a whole.
