Tech Integration

 Students Speak Their Minds through Digital Media is a video that shows the positive aspects of integrating technology into learning. What I liked about this video is that stressed the fact that technology is not just another tool but it can be connected to everything else that you are learning. Another aspect about this video that I liked was that the students were not taking this class and only learning about technology but they were also learning teamwork, planning and the process that it takes to complete a project. From this video I learned that technology integration can be beneficial not only in helping students learn the subject that they may be focusing on but they can also learn life skills such as teamwork, communication, dedication, and planning.  Technology integration in today’s classrooms is very crucial because the students that we have now have grown up with technology. By integrating something that they are familiar with, with something that is new to them will help them to learn not only what they do not know but more about what they already know. It is also very important to give students multiple tools to learning in order for them to find which one works best for them so they can reach their highest potentials to learning. In my classroom I will integrate technology in whatever ways I can or see fit. With the use of a smart board or other tools like it, we can have models that we can manipulate and see cause and effect, change over time, or solutions to problems.
