Current View of Technology

When I first thought about technology I thought it had to be something complex like a computer. Now I realize that many things are a form of technology, even something as simple as a pencil. When I become I teacher, I want to incorporate as many forms of technology as possible, without taking away from the lesson. I think technology generally helps students to learn better. It holds their attention better, usually allows them to take part in the learning process, and gives them an additional way to have material presented. There can be problems with technology, however, but the more familiarized you make yourself with it, the less likely things are to go wrong. I learned a lot this semester about technology in the classroom, but there are still so many things to learn. I hope I will be able to effectively incorporate technology in my classroom.
