Since we began this class in January I have learned a lot about technology and ways it can be used in the classroom. One thing that really stands out in my mind that I will use is the classroom website. Having a website is a wonderful communication tool between teachers, students, and parents. I will definitely use the website I created and continue to update it once I get a class of my own. Portaportal is also a great tool. I love that you are able to find good educational websites and save them for your future use and also let others have access to them as well.
I believe that living in the digital generation gives us a great advantage in learning. Now it seems that the answers to our questions are literally only a click away. I think that technology is a more effective way of learning as opposed to the traditional way. In my opinion students are more interested in what you are teaching if technology is incorporated. For example, an online video can easily be used to get your lesson across, or maybe an interactive game that ties into the lesson. The world we live in is so advanced that kids of the digital generation would get bored with traditional learning. I personally don't know why we wouldn't use technology to teach. In my opinion, using technology is a much more effective way to help students understand and apply what they know and an easier way to research what they don't know.
