7 Ways to Bring Technology into the Classroom

This article tells you seven good ways you could bring technology into your classroom or how your school district could bring technology into the district. To begin with the seven ways to incorporate this into your classroom are: have your students blog, create social network, podcast, use wikis for big projects, try social bookmarking, post videos, and explore with goole maps. These are just some of the ways you can bring technology into your classroom. Some ways could be better than others in ways such as protection of the child while at school, example: using a social network unless its monitored by the school teacher or the school and its only realated with other schools that we know and have common interests with. Social networking can sometimes be dangerous but if we as teacher take the correct steps to setting one up, then we can benefit from that network.

I believe that we should incorporate technology into the schools and classroom, it has already happened and future teachers will always come into a world where teaching is mostly technology rather than how it was when this generation was in grade school. It would be a good thing for technology to be available to students while they are at school because in some cases, students may not have access to interenet or technology outside of the school setting.
