Technology Integration

We live in a digital world and the use of technology in and outside of the classroom has rapidly grown, not only in use but also in importance. Because we live in a digital world, it is imperative that students are exposed to various technologies everyday in the classroom so that they are able to utilize various technologies as active citizens outside of the classroom. Students today are considered to be technology natives, meaning that using different digital technologies come natural to them. The bonus of digital technologies today is that most (that use to cost us money) are now internet based, free, and are even fun to use! Students are able to collaborate with peers from other classrooms in different countries at the touch of a button! It is simply amazing to see how far technology has come and it will be even more amazing to watch it grow and change.

Below you will find examples of two lesson plans that both integrate free technologies from the internet. As a computer and technology teacher I am excited every day to learn about, share, and expose my students to the newest technologies, most of which that are free, web based and encourage creativity. Feel free to explore the remainder of my website for more technology based lesson plans. Be sure to check back often too... as our digital world is always advancing and changing, so is my webpage!
