I recently read an article called I don't want to integrate it, I want to embed it! by Jeff Utecht. The title of the article gives away what the article is about, it is about how people say that they say "I want to integrate technology into the classroom" and how it should be "I want to embed technology into the classroom." By the way he says this in his article shows how it gets on his nerves and how fustraithing it is when someone uses a word in sentence wrong.
Like me it gets on my nerves when someone tries to do something that doesn't really work for them, like Jeff and the word being used wrong, buth the bigger picture about this article is how technology is wanting to be embeded into classrooms and school curriculum. I also am in favor of technology being used in the classroom and to help students learn better and more efficiantly. Me I am a visual learner and just like me a lot of other students learn and remember things better when it is not just talked about, but seen. Videos, pictures, other peoples thoughts around the world are all made through technology, the efficiant way to see, or use these things is technology. Technology, technology, technology is the way to a better learning experiance and the word of this article.
I would love having to use technology in all my classes at school. It kind of gives everyone something to be excited about, I mean how many honest students are completely excited to come here and learn all day long with a pencil, paper and maybe a binder, ooooooooh. I know that those three things aren't exactly my highlight of the day. I think it would make things for students more exciting and hands on. I know my english class is one of my favortie classes of the day because I have my own laptop to learn on, it is much more exciting that I get to type my notes that to sit there with a paper and pencil and write my notes. How assingments like this is not on paper, how I am sitting here writing(typing) my thoughts for not only my teacher to see, but for my classmates, family and other people around the world.
