Week+4+Reflection

This weeks readings and videos demonstrated activities and the use of Technology that was reasonably priced and that I saw could and should be used in the everyday classroom. I felt Using Technology with Classroom Instruction demonstrated and gave excellent technology ideas stating that technology can be use cooperative, different media ideas and excellent websites like [|www.jason.org]. I was also happy to see in the Web 2.0 book that it listed many of my frustrations with faculty and the lack of technical abilities. While we as teacher probably will never catch up to today’s students, we do need to have a basic understanding of technology and a willingness to use technology in the classroom to enable students to succeed at the highest levels.
