Tech+Integration

For this assignment, I watched a video about kindergartners and how the teachers use technology in the classroom to facilitate the students' learning. I really liked this video because it was about how each and every thing the children learn in the classroom stems from what the children are interested in and want to learn about. The teachers would then use technology within the classroom to gather and present the information to the students. They had a smart board in the classroom where the children could watch the teacher gather the information, and then see the information after they've located it. The teachers also used the smart board in the classroom to assist children with their writing skills. From this video, I learned how important and helpful technology can be in the classroom. It makes it easier for the teacher to access information, and open the door to learning for children.

I believe that technology integration in todays' classrooms are very important. I think it gives the teacher more of an opportunity to provide the children with more information and access to learning. It also gives the student the opportunity to learn about something they are interested in in a different way, that may work better for them. I hope to integrate technology in my classroom by providing my students with access to the internet and various computer programs that would provide them with an opportunity to learn through various aspects of technology. It would also be amazing to provide my students with access to a smart board in the classroom because I feel that would also be very beneficial to their learning and exploration.
