Technology+Integration

I liked the video titled "Building Relationships between Students and Teachers" because it taught me that human interaction is often performed through technology. It is implied that in today's society, much of what needs to be achieved inside of school is done through technology. For example, Principle Derek Pierce hosts a retreat for his teachers in which they discuss the curriculum and goals for the year. This retreat is possible through communication and the planning is done via e-mail, cell phone, and internet. Technology proves to be the most efficient form of communication and is vital in a teaching community to gather and send information as quickly as possibly.

The importance of technology integration in today's classroom allows students and teachers to receive the most current information pertaining to their area of study. Technology integration will be valued in my class because it creates a more expansive learning environment and students will become more knowledgeable about their subject of interest. As a teacher, I plan on encouraging students to use techonology as a more effective and easier way of learning by using tools like the internet. If a student is exposed to more learning material, then the more prepared and better off the student is going to be in the real world.
