= Technology Integration and Skills =

Integration Philosophy
Since technology is constantly changing, I feel as though the teachers need to first and foremost be comfortable with all the changes that are being made. Once teachers are comfortable using technology, they will become more knowledgeable and willing to incorporate technology into their every day teaching. Teachers can use technology as a way to collaborate with fellow teachers or with the students in their classes. I think that by using technology everyday, students may become more engaged throughout each lesson. Technology is a great way to grab the attention of each learner. It gives students a new approach to a sunject that they may not understand or feel comfortable with. Technology is also a good way to communicate. If a teacher is absent, she can direct her students to a web page or a class wiki in order to post and check assignments. The same goes for a student being absent - if students are absent the teacher can direct them to the web page or class wiki in order to see what assignments were missed. I think that technology is becoming more and more dominant in classrooms everywhere. Students and teachers both are using technology more and more everyday and it is giving students more opportunities to success. = = =Included in this Portfolio:=
