Technology+Integration

I watched the video “[|Anytime, Anywhere: Online Learning Shapes the Future.]” I liked this video because it offered an upcoming view on a new kind of school that is emerging the online school. This online school is offering to students what the traditional classroom cannot. The online classroom offers each student a personalized course based on their ability and background knowledge, no waiting to be called upon if they have a question they can simply email their teacher and it levels the playing field in that every subject is now taught by an individual that is an expert in that subject. A.P. classes can now be offered to students that did not have the opportunity. I think that online schools also expose today’s students to computers and the internet in a way that has never been done before.

I think that the importance of technology in today’s classroom is of the up most importance with how the economy is forming and the integration of computers and technology in the workplace the sooner we can expose technology to our students the better prepared for the working world they will be. I think that I would like to integrate technology into my classroom by offering a kind of blended classroom with modules to supplement information to students in some sort of an online format to extend their knowledge outside of the classroom as well as offer a website with my classroom to display their papers and stories as well as art work to keep communication open between the families of my students and myself.
