I believe that technology is an area that should be incorporated into all areas of learning. It shouldn't only be discussed in a computer or technology class. It needs to and should be included into all areas of a students learning, even the core classes of English, Math, Science, and History.
Technology is all inclusive. I can use it to create a preview of a book or introduce a unit to my class. I can create or find a web quest that my students can use to help them understand a concept better. I know that writing is an important aspect of English, but my students will have more fun and also see more of a connection and a relevance if they created a digital story as a book project than they would if they had to write yet another book report, and to be honest, I think I would enjoy seeing their creativity through a digital story than reading a book report.
I believe that we need to support our students creativity through technology. If we cannot move forward and embrace technology, and teach our students how to use it effectively, efficiently, and creatively, then we are darkening the future. We are a society that is forever moving forward and if we continue to hold our students back, how will they succeed in the competitive world. How will the move forward to seize their potential? I firmly believe that technology is a must in most lessons and I intend to use it.
