Technology can be integrated in the classroom in a variety of ways. A few I have personally experienced and have enjoyed, such as discussion boards, blogging and several educational websites to name a few. I had not considered the safety aspects that come with integrating technology in the classroom. As a teacher you must be sure that your students follow the guidelines set forth by the school and the district. Planning and strategy come into play when incorporating technology into your lesson plans. You must research to assure that the technology you include enhances the lesson and can offer a method of success.
My little experience I have had in the classroom has shown me that technology can be very exciting for student learning. The Smartboard is a fun way to "include" students in participating in classroom learning. There are a variety of educational softwares that enable students to practice and gain a better perspective and understanding of the lesson being tought. As a future teacher I plan on continuing further technology education in this ever evolving field.
