Tech+Intergration

Erika Rael September 13, 2010 EDT 3010 Technology Integration Assignment

The video that I found most interesting was called Anytime, Anywhere: Online Learning Shapes the Future. At first I was against online learning because I thought it took away from interaction with others but then I realized it’s not so bad. They had three main points to the video that I thought were very interesting. The first one was that online learning is personalized. The second one was that it levels the playing field. The last point was the money. It’s cheaper to fund online learning than to pay teachers.

In today’s world, technology is every where and I think it is very important to implement that into our classrooms. I was a paraprofessional in a kindergarten class and I can tell you that almost all my students knew how to use a computer, radio, iPod, etc. When I have my own classroom I hope to make technology an everyday leaning experience for my students. Every child learns differently and I think most children today learn better with technology at their fingertips. They have made learning tools for infants within the last five to ten years. Just imagine how it will be in twenty years.
