1. I can make sure that when I teach I will try to include technology to engage my students when they learn. I know that technology captures their attention so I can use it to get some of them paying attention who may not usually. I can try to make sure they are included in the technology that I am using as well, instead of me just standing up there using it for them to watch. The video talks about how much they love to use technology so by letting them use it I will be able to let them participate in using the things they love, which may let them want to come to class because they can learn on things they like to use.
2. How many hours people spend on TV and the amount of text messages spent. I cannot believe how many young (4-6) years are already using computers. The stats about seniors also caught my attention. I knew how I felt about my classes, but I didn't realize that so many didn't find the classes they were taking useful or meaningful.
3. Technology in classrooms now is kind of coming around. I feel like college is grasping the concept more than elementary/high schools. I know many teachers have had us pull out our phones and I feel like those classrooms are the ones that made me feel like I would be most interested in. I hope in my classroom in the future I will include technology in so many of the creative ways that will keep my students interested in my class.
I agree with you completely!!!!! I want to try to incorporate technology into almost every lesson that I do. Students should understand and how to use technology in new and expressive ways. Although, I do think it is kind of crazy how young children are starting to use technology. I kind of wished that classrooms in elementary, middle, and high schools would use technology more often.
