Chapter 8 Reading Refelction

What I learned - 

Chapter 8 discusses various ways that teachers and students can use computers and other technologies to share  ideas and information in classrooms and online learning environments. One of the main ideas in this chapter are the benefits of using communication technologies into your instructional practices and related outside the classroom responsibilities. By using these  technologies such as e-mail, instant messaging, teacher websites, discussion bored, blogs, and wiki's makes rapid exchange of information possible between one another. What i found to be most interesting about the chapter were all the precautions you must take when incorporating these technologies into your lesson plans. 

What I Wonder? 

How those students without access to technology will be able to contribute on their own time outside of school. If this is the case for some your students how can i make sure they are can gain access through outside resources.
