Tech+Integration

====﻿﻿﻿As I was watching this video I began to think that perhaps one day teachers may become obsolete. But then I realized that all students don't learn the same way. Although technology has come a long way and now we can't seem to live with out it but there are some that still need that human connection. I liked this technology integration because it gives the students freedom and flexibilty. This kind of integration is appealing to me because there are many Special Ed. students that are homebound and this kind of technology can help them﻿ to keep up with their grades.====

Video: Anytime, Anywhere: Online Learning Shapes the Future
====I liked this video because it shows the benefits of online and blended learning. I've learned that it gives the students the chance to make choices of when and where they will learn, at home or in the classroom. The students would be able to work at their own pace and it gives them a flexible schedule. It also levels the playing field because certain schools may not offer an AP class and if it can be found online then the student has a better opportunity of succeeding. It can also save schools and the districts money. If there is a teacher shortage because of budget cuts or not enough qualified teachers in a particular subject then online classes becomes more viable. This kind of technology integration is a great alternative to traditional classroom learning when the student is unable to attend a traditional classroom.==== ====I think technology integration in the classroom is more necessary than we realize. It's interesting to see how teachers and students are able to evolve together. I work in a high school and see how technology is being utilized. When it comes to integrating technology into the classroom, I will use computers so the students will be able to do research. I will be working with the special education students and many would rather type on the computer than to write. There are computer programs that have math assessment games that the students will be playing. I think I will also use traditional teaching by lecturing and using an inter-active power point presentations.====
