My opinion has changed tremendously on technology integration in the past 10 weeks. In my very first blog, I had shared my fear and anxiety when I started my class, but now I can confidently say that I overcame both those feelings. Rather than being overwhelmed, I was inspired to learn all the exciting tools and technology to enhance my lessons and teaching. I felt exhilarated while learning and using it in class, and can only imagine how rousing it would be for students too. I believe that the tools were practical, easy to learn, and stimulating enough for the students to learn and apply. I am willing to integrate it now that I have learned how to and what to integrate. However, I still believe that infusion of technology must be used as a tool to enhance the learning in a content area or a multidisciplinary setting, and not be used to replace traditional teaching. It must be used to assist in enhancing the teaching method, content, and the learning for the students. I will have to find that fine balance for myself and the students and not get carried away using it. All in all I had fun in class and learned a lot!
