here is a clip that is pretty neat to watch it basically shows how integrating technology in the classroom is important.

As technology is becoming increasingly important and we are entering into this technology centered classroom i see myself changing and adapting my social studies unit plans into power point/white board user friendly criteria. I know my two week sponsor teacher for social studies has implemented the white board into his classroom. He has also spoken to the school and they have access to laptops for the students to use for his class. so i believe that we need to realize that the classroom is not the same as when we were in school and that we need to realize that lovely concept that "one size does not fit all" and we must adapt to this new world.
how as new teachers do you plan on using technology in the classroom if you have the option???

One thing I really took away from the clip is that technology can give students who don't normally speak up in class a voice. When I was in high school I contributed to most classes but I was never strong in English and if we had blogs I think I would have contributed a lot more since you get the chance to think about what you want to say.
