Reflection Time

The end of my technology class is almost here.  It’s time to reflect on what I’ve learned and what I’m going to do with that knowledge.  One thing I have learned from this course is that technology is important and it is going to be a HUGE part of all my students’ futures; therefore, I must integrate it into my classroom.  I learned about a website called Delicious during my last class.  This is a website for sharing links to other websites.  I am always coming across great websites, whether it’s when I am searching for lesson activity ideas, or when my daughter is playing games.  Often I send or receive emails about ‘great sites’.  So, reflecting on what my plan of action for integrating technology will be, I think the first step could be as simple as setting up my fellow first grade teachers with a Delicious account.  Then, moving on and helping the second and third grade teachers as well.  If all the staff in my elementary building had a delicious account, sharing technology would be a breeze and having sites readily available would make it easier to actually integrate technology in the classroom.
