Technology in the classroom is a very important learning tool that should be used to the advantage of both the teacher and the students to learn easier. There were many times that technology was used to help me learn. One of these times was when my first teacher used a power point presentation with videos feeds and with music and pictures. The subject being taught was Introduction to Computers. Basically it was a class needed to first get your Associates Degree. It was on the second week and we were learning the beginning of computers and how they evolved to the way they are today. Each slide had pictures, data, and videos to help me understand more about computers. If the teacher just put up an outline on the overhead and just briefly talked about the subject I really do not think I would have even stayed awake. The other students all enjoyed it as well as when I looked around the classroom each student was awake and paying attention. I believe that this was a great way to integrate technology into the classroom because it definetely got me interested. Also in this same class the teacher did have a blog and made each student write a blog post of what they learned from the beginning of the computer age and then what the computer is like in present and what we think the computer will be like in the future.
So this was a very goo way for the teacher to integrate technology into the classroom to better the learning environment and make a subject such as basis of computers actually seem interesting to each student in the class and then have each student discuss likes/dislikes and then predictions.
