Ch.1 Becoming an e-teacher

-What I Learned?

This chapter focuses around a teachers personal motives for wanting to incorporate technology in the classroom. What i hadn't realized before reading this chapter was how young children are being exposed to technology and different kinds of electronics. Since technology has become woven apart of our everyday lives we tend to take it for granted. The chapter also discusses on p. 5 the many advantages to use technology in the classroom. The main reason being that it lets you change teaching and learning in enriching and productive ways. What i found to be interesting was how the chapter discussed what web 2.0 is, a term i had not heard of before. This new generation of technology can be used to create highly interactive, inquiry-based learning at all grade levels. Overall from reading this chapter the main idea i found was the importance of being able to confidently integrate the computer and other digital electronic resources into teaching and learning.
