Lessons Learned

After completing all of the readings, videos and websites I concluded that there are so many great things that come from teaching with technology and why it is so important. I feel that it is vital to teach our students about the technology today and how to use and understand it. From the video “millennial generation” I learned about taking technology on the go. The kids referred it to media mobility. The video also talked about technology today is still changing so much and that parents are getting advice from their kids about technology because it is increasing at such a rapid rate. IIts amazing to me that our children someday will have a completely different view on technology in the world and how much more it will be integrated into our every day lives. I liked the video we watched in class called the Shift Happens, it really explained how rapid our technology is growing and why it can be such an important part of our students lives. I also really enjoyed the article about why we should integrate technology in the curriculum. Technology is involved in almost every part of our lives, communities and homes. There are many advantages that are offered for teaching and learning with technology. It will help students acquire the skills they need to survive in a complex, highly technological knowledge based economy. I felt that all of the articles and videos had good information telling why technology is so important and should be a part of our students future.
