Reading Reflection: Chapter 4

Reading Reflection: 

Chapter four is all about technology integration and educational change to help teacher's infuse technology into both classroom instruction and professional work. The chapter went into detail and listed examples of 3 main primary ways teachers can use technology to teach their students. These 3 main ways are inside-theclassroom teaching tools, outside-the-classroom professional resources, and outside-the-learning-classroom learning experiences for students. The chapter also talks about how to integrate  technology into the classroom and the stages and issues that are involved when doing so. What i found most interesting in the chapter was the section about the digital divide, digital inequality, and participation gap. I was very surprised to find the discrepancy between the number of white's that have access to a computer compared to the number of students that are African American or Hispanic.

What I Wonder? 

Because of Technology Integration and Educational change is it better to stick with type one technology because of the simplicity compared to the complications you might be faced with using type two technology?
