Before taking EDM 310 I did not realize how important technology could be in the classroom. I think to teach students today you must include technology in your lessons. It keeps the students engaged. There are several types of tools you can use with technology such as blogs, twitter, iMovie, and many others. I think the best approach for teaching with technology is project-based learning. This allows for students to show more creativity in their work and solve real world problems. The fact that project-based learning always involves a real world problem this gets the students attention because they find it useful. It is almost impossible to avoid using technology in the class because it is all around. Most likely every class has a Smart Board and some school districts even have iPads for all the students. It would be a waste to let a tool with infinite possibilities not be used in the class. So, if you were to ask me how I feel about technology in the classroom, then I would say it is one of the best things that ever happen to education.
