Using Technology in the Classroom

I am very excited to be participating in this blogging experience. I have never blogged before so this whole experience is an adventure in itself for me. I believe that integrating technology in the classroom is very essential because children need to be familiar with all the different aspects of technology, since it plays such a big role in society today. I know I personally was interested in having our topic on using technology in the classroom to improve the learning experience because it can be so beneficial for varied levels of abilities of students. I am interested in becoming a Special Education teacher, so I personally would like to research and learn all the different ways I can use technology to my advantage to help children with different learning disabilities. The purpose of this blog for me is learn all the different ways technology can be used in the classroom to help the student succeed in their academics. Some goals of this blog is to identify different ways that technology can be helpful for children with different abilities; whether it is learning disabilities or even advanced learners. Some future activities is to show teachers ways that they can incorporate technology in their classroom so that their students can be engaged in the material they are learning.
