Being in this class, I have realized that technology is not only for social-networking and finding symptoms for sicknesses on WebMD.com. Technology is a whole other resource for learning.
The 3 "R"s
Reading
Writing
Arithmatic
Now in the 21st Century, literacy is not only the ability to read texts, it is about finding information online, critically analyze the information you found to make sure that it is relevant and useful, and organize it. Also, students and teachers alike must find ways to express themselves using various different technology tools such as Blogs and Mini-blogs (Twitter).
With these technologies, teachers will be able to engage the students as the video, Digital Natives that Dr. Smirnova made available to view, illustrated to us. Integrating technology into the classroom may be foreign to some teachers but it would help the students since concrete books are becoming antiques and computer screens are becoming the norm.
