Technology has become a huge part of or society today. The process of teaching has changed; today's teachers are preparing students for jobs that do not yet exist. Classroom teachers must include the use of technology in all areas of study. Are we doing all we can for our students to prepare them for success? To better understand classrooms today and the students learning in them check out one of these videos. A Vision of Studetns Today describes the lives of college students and the classrooms and teachers that are educating them. These changes are not only being seen in colleges but also in elementary schools. The short clip AVision of K-12 Students Today depicts how technology has become a staple in the lives of these young students.

My Goals for this course: 1. Increase my ability to teach using technology in everyday lessons not only using it for accommodations. 2. Better understand how to set up and manage a wikipage. Classroom WebPages are a great way to stay connected with students and keep parent involved, I hope to use this in my future classroom. 3. Expand my knowledge of current technology and its uses in the classroom through experimenting and reading/reviewing articles.
