Reflection

1. What have you learned about the technology available to teachers? What concerns do you have about using technology in the classroom? How do you feel the role of technology has changed since you were a student? What tools do feel would be most beneficial for students?

2. In Week 7, you will complete the Technology Application Project and pick two of the tools from your chart to create an activity and assessment for one specific topic. Elementary and Special Education candidates must choose one of the four core areas: math, reading, social science, or science. Secondary candidates may use the subject they are pursuing.
