Educational technology has had a huge impact on how I will teach in the future. I never knew there were so many technologies available to us and I still have so much to learn. I would have been one of the teachers who was afraid of technology and just did it to do it. Now I realize how important educational technology is to all students. I understand that technology must be integrated into the curriculum. It needs to be purposeful and meaningful. I was also under the misconception that technology was too difficult to use. Between the websites themselves which gave explanations and the tutorials they were all very user friendly. Through reading articles I think there is such a value in teachers collaborating together. We can learn so much through each other. We can also learn from our students and the students need to be collaborating as well. I will make every effort to integrate technology my students curriculum. I will not be afraid to try new technologies and ask questions. Eight weeks ago I would not have said any of these things or had any of these thoughts. I will continue to use my blog as a reminder to myself of what I have learned and what I still want to learn. I will continue to add new thoughts and ideas about technology. There are so many technologies available to us that keeping a blog about them is a great way to keep track of them.
