technology

In the end, technology is and essential in the classroom these days. They should learn about the internet, different programs and software, and why it is so impotant to learn these things. Technology is so important to learn these days because many careers involve knowing how to use technology and certain programs and software just to get into the job.

and many more which will all come up with some variety of results.

Lesson Plans

There are many websites and sources on the web that can help teachers with their lesson plans and ideas for new lesson plans. Some of the websites are free and some cost for each lesson plan. But these websites are very useful and effective for teachers to use on an occasion of when they need help with new ideas for lesson plans.

Internet Safety

Schools and teachers should all have monitoring and filters on their computers for what is searched and what websites are allowed to be viewed. The Schools should all autimatically put blocks and filters on the monitor and block certain websites to be viewed by students. This is essential for both the students and the schools safety.

Internet searching

Internet searching is essential to know and may not be as easy as it sounds. Teachers should help students figure out he most helpful and efficient way to search the internet. This will help students research and find the most efficient way and helpful way to search the internet for the information they need.

technology in curriculum

Technology should be a major part of a teachers curriculum. When I was in school technology was not adressed as much as I believe it should have been. If certain things about software and the internet were taught and part of the curriculum on a regular basis, it would have made things much easier. Thta is why technology shoudl be a part of the curriculum for all ages in school.

Microsoft Excel

Excel can be so helpful to teachers in so many ways. It is definately something that should be taught to their students how to use and the benefits of knowing how to use excel. Excel can also be used for the teachers benefits to use as a gradebook and can average and sum out numbers very easily and efficiently.

computer games

Computer games can be very educational in many ways depending on the game. They can be useful for students to learn both technology and the subject that the game is based on. Computer games in my opinion, if helpful in the content of the game should be used and encouraged to be played if they are educationally based.

Video Games

Video games are now so popular all over the world for all ages. They can be educational in some ways, but I do not believe they should be brought into the classroom yet. They are still fun and can help kids, but in my opinion there is not enough education involved in them to bring them into the classroom at this point in time.

Educational Technology

I think technbology is a must in the classroom today. Technology is all over the world now at home and at work. Technology has grown so much and it is essential that the students learn as much as they can about technology in the classroom. They can do different activities with technology involved in the assignment and even they can have classes solely based on technology.
