Technology is everywhere and entwined in our daily lives so when technology in the classroom is used correctly it opens up possibilities for more student learning. I strive to make my classroom a fun, engaging place to learn every day. By integrating technology into the classroom in a meaningful and purposeful way, I am able to hold and sustain a student’s love for learning. Using technology in the classroom has transformed me into an educator that is a conceptual thinker, generator of ideas, and a self-starter.
Technology education has not only become a network of gathering and sharing ideas, but also a platform for students and teachers to research, collaborate, and differentiate. A source of technology that has resources readily available for content subject classes and STEM class is a valuable resource in today’s technology literate world. Collaborating and communicating with peers is a meaningful and purposeful way to share ideas with one another.
Effective technology integration must have at the interdisciplinary level in a way that deepens and enhances student’s learning process. The benefits of implementing technology integration into the classroom is active engagement taking place, collaboration among peers, and connections to the real-world. Technology education makes teaching and learning more meaningful and fun!
