Learning about technology integration has been one of the most exciting experiences of my journey at SNHU. The reality is that technology can be implemented into any subject and the possibilities are endless. Technology brings us closer together and enables us to visit and learn about remote places even beyond our planet. Student engagement increases if we skillfully incorporate technology into our lessons. Academic material is more accessible to students with limitations, breaking the barriers that prevent us from reaching the students and helping us deliver instruction more effectively. I think as educators we have to look out for opportunities to incorporate technology in the classroom and maintain our skills current by taking courses, reading and researching for new tech programs. We owe it to our "21st century learners" to find ways to connect with them using the same tools they like to use at home. Also, by incorporating the TPAK model and designing lessons that are rich in content and utilize a variety of methods to deliver instruction (such as technology) - suitable for multiple intelligences.
