Ny’Yada: I think my biggest challenge when it comes to technology is trying to figure out when to stop using it. I really have no other challenges when it comes to technology. I am a tech savvy person, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t struggle with it. But I would say that mine would be not knowing when to stop using it. I rely on technology a lot and often when I should not.
Haley: My biggest struggle with technology is the possibility of it not working. I always have a back up of anything that I do in paper form because I am very afraid of the technology not working.
In this article, The Hub gives twelve different ways that teachers can start using technology in the classroom. Edutopia, also gives numerous ways for teachers to integrate technology into their classrooms.
For example, one way we can imagine using blogs in my own classroom would be to use it to inform the parents what is happening in our classrooms. We could also see it being used for homework and discussion. As a student, I don’t really like talking in class, so forums are my favorite! Another way that we could use it would be to post grades, like Sakai.
