Over the duration of this course I felt the major thing to pull away is that the term "technology integration" tends to communicate the idea that technology is a separate part of education that needs to be incorporated into teaching. I strongly believe that technological tools are comparable to pencils or books and that Technology is simply one tool that educators can utilize to assist children in the learning process. This corresponds with the ICT outcomes and the push to integrate technology into the classroom to help future students. I feel that technology needs to be incorporated into education the same way that it is done with in the students' lives. It should be used seamlessly so that it is not seen as a separate element. I realize that this is an ultimate goal and I feel from the ICT outcomes we are now going in that direction.
By infusing technology in education, we will create problem solving students who have strong skills with collaboration. As a future educator I intend to incorporate technology in a variety of forms into my classroom. I’m going to be hopefully teaching drama classes so because of this I plan to use technology to further benefit the students learning such as making wikipages or podcasts for theater history presentations or using IMovie programs for rehearsals so the students can self-analyze. I feel by doing this I’ll using technology to improve the students’ knowledge on a specific subject and hopefully have them so engaged that they did further research on their own. With today’s society students are well rehearsed in technology do to social media so it makes sense to take aspects of these concepts and bring them into the classroom.
I feel as future educators we must put it upon ourselves to stay up to date with the most prevalent of technology in order to instruct our students on the pros and cons of technology and guide them in this hard world of media in order for them to become well-structured members of society.
