Assignment 11.2

Using technology in the classroom is a great way of capturing and keeping your student's attention if done right. When utilized correctly, students can learn in new and exciting ways which, in turn, makes it easier for the teacher to teach. Technology is also important because that is what our world revolves around these days. Technology is everywhere and everything. Students need to be exposed to technology early because there are skills they need to know and learn in order to survive. That may sound extreme, but now and in the future, you will not be able to obtain a job without basic technological skills.
Technology is also resourceful for teachers. Because of technology, teachers now have access to all types of resources that will help them in the classrom. You can find anything on the internet, including lesson plan ideas and fun activities for students to engage in.
Technology makes learning easier for the student and it makes teaching easier for the teacher.

I thought the class was good. I learned new things; my favorite being the digital storybook. I feel like I could actually use the stuff I learned in instructional technology in the classroom.
