The New Norm: Integrating Technology into the Classroom

When we integrate technology into teaching and learning we provide another way for our students to learn and understand material. We present so many more ways for students to learn and to interact with the world and other people. Our students are using technology daily in their personal lives and will more than likely use it in their work lives, so I believe we need to be using it in the classroom. That’s not to say that the technology we teach them they will be using that exact format or software but we are preparing our students to be digital learners and will be able to adapted and learn any new technology that is created. To not use technology in the classroom is not preparing our students for the real world. Education needs to stay with the times and be using technology in the classroom. The technology tools are there we just need to utilize them.
