Opinion of Technology Integration

My overall opinion of technology integration has not changed too much in the last 10 weeks or so. I still believe it is a vital part of education and should be treated in such a way. There are some details about the subject that I am now much more aware about, though. The technicalities and responsibilities that surround the act of bringing technology into the classroom were far from my thought 10 weeks ago and this course has thankfully made me much more aware. Simply telling a student to access the internet can open a world of trouble. Although I am not afraid by any means to integrate, I am certainly much more conscience of the details involved in asking students to work with technology. I think that as teachers, one must constantly be one step ahead of students and that includes the relm of technology. Although it is very difficult to do with the fast eveloving technological world, one must attempt to know where students are going to go next in order to prevent or at least prepare for any type of situation. Integrating technology into the classroom is very exciting as a hopeful teacher and I can sort of see the future classroom with IPads instead of texts, and this course has not only opened my eyes to those possibilities, but also prepared me to deal with the advancements in education realistically.
