Technology+Integration

media type="custom" key="6854963"Reflection

I viewed the video titled “Anytime, Anywhere: Online Learning Shapes the Future.” What I liked about the video was that online education enables students to have a more personal relationship with their education and allows them to complete their course work and a more desirable pace. In regard to technology integration I learned that online programs continue to help advance the technological awareness of students in our ever changing and advancing culture. In addition to this type of education it becomes easier for teachers to provide information to their students and allows, at times, for more learning and less classroom management.

Importance of Integration

In today’s ever changing world technology integration in the classroom is becoming more and more essential. As a recent graduate from a major university, I discovered that using technology in and out of the classroom on a daily basis was an integral part of my education. With this it becomes ever more important to our primary and secondary students to be able to not only be familiar with technology but competent when transitioning to their next step in life. Once I am in the classroom preparing students for the next grade or stage of life I am going to try and make technology not an add on but a common practice in my curriculum. I will have the students submitting assignments online, holding sessions in computer labs, constructing multimedia assignments and so on.
