Week 15 Reflection

1. Chapter 9 of How People Learn discuess different technology baesd learning situations. Chapter 10 is a conclusion that reviews all the previous information present in How People Learn. These different technological situations require creativity a topic that was discussed in our Cognition textbook. Technology helps motivate students, many of these students are used to using technology daily, so the incorporation is very important in our classrooms.

2. I agree that technology is very important. The problem I have is that not every school is equipped with the school technology. How does a school that does not have the appropriate equipment go about getting their hands on it? I have heard of teachers writing grants, how do you go about writing a grant, where do you go to look for different grant programs. As a new educator these things are very uncertain to me.

3. Technology is a very important part of the classroom. I hope to continue to gain knowledge about how to incorporate technology into my classroom by attending district workshops or classes at the local university. With the advances in technology in society and in our youth I feel that schools are always going to struggle to keep up.
