Blog Assignment #1

The two blogs i used for this assignment were http://www.bethknittle.net/WP_Blog/ and http://weblogg-ed.com/. After the first week of class and reading these two blogs, I am starting to see the importance of technology in the classroom. Before taking any education classes at Susquehanna, I saw technology as something teachers used as aids for them, and not the students. This tech in education class is helping me realize that the technology not only helps the teacher, it helps the students learn more efficiently. Technology includes visual, kinesthetic, and auditory learners. Technology has to be used properly though for the students to actually learn. That is why I am taking this class. I want to learn how to effectively use technology in my classroom. I am unaware of the vast uses of different technologies, all of which could be affective in my classroom. I am excited to start teaching in a few years, but I still have alot to learn, which includes implementing technology in my classroom.
