Technology Integration Discussion Question #1

Technology integration is when students use different types of technology to learn the content areas they need. Students are used to using textbooks and manipulatives, but they enjoy using technology any chance they get. Students learn technology faster and easier than adults, and their attention span is longer when technology is involved. I was amazed when I came back into the classroom and saw that people could actually touch a board and it would change because back then when I was in school all we had was a chalkboard and chalk. Even before learning about the smartboard I had one in my classroom and used it the best I could. The students loved being exposed to it and enjoyed the big screen and getting up and interacting with the smartboard.
