technology in my classroom

As a history teacher in high school, I see myself using technology as much as I can in my lessons. I see myself using power point presentation,s webquests, scavenger hunts, videos, and maybe websites. I believe that technology is a useful tool that allows the students to further understand what they are learning. The only thing is I have to watch my use and make sure that technology does not become a crutch for my lessons. Technology is great for the students and the teacher if it is used correctly.

My view on technology in the past seven weeks has been for the better. Before this class I was only aware of the limited uses of technology in the classroom. Thanks to this class I have learned about webquests, scavenger hunts, podcasts, creating websites, and so much more. All this information helps give me ideas for lesson plans because it allows teachers to be more creative with their lessons, which will allow the student to get more out of the teachers lesson.
