In class we watched a Youtube video about education technology integration in a teacher's classroom. She used to use traditional methods of teaching, but found that students were disengaged and not wanting to learn. After integratign technology she found that her students came to class excited to learn. Having students access homework over the internet provides a paperless classroom which is important and then students have less materials to forget at home. We talked about using a site called EPal where classrooms worldwide are looking for other rooms to interact and correspond with. I would definately use this website in my future teaching in order to expose my student to different cultures and improve writing skills. We all participated in a jigsaw activity with articles about dumb things teachers do with technology and the best things teachers can do with technology.
