Classroom Technology

After taking EDM310 at the University of South Alabama I realized just how important it was for today's teachers to be technologically literate. In my future classroom I plan to use every amount of technology available to me to enrich my students life. Kids today use technology everyday in their lives and for teachers not to use that to their advantage to make learning fun or at least more enjoyable for them, I believe, is a crime. I realize that for some change is scary or unneeded but this is something that will not go away. Technology is only getting more advanced so not to learn or use it to learn is really pointless because you will eventually have to use it. Such things as the SMART Board and Computers make learning fun and easier for kids. My son is currently in Kindergarten and his class recently got a SMART Board. He said his whole class loves it. I can actually see the difference in his learning since they have begun to use it. I think that as teachers we owe it to our students to excite them about learning!!
