Chapter 12

I never understood the complexity that goes into integrating technology into the classroom. Much is required of the teachers to teach their students the uses of technology. While many of the students will know as much if not more than their teachers, it is important to have all the students working at an acceptable level. I guess it all should be obvious but I never really thought about the three aspects of pre-lesson, lesson, and post lesson, and how they all need technology. I now realize how important it is for me, as a future teacher to not only prepare a lesson and how to teach it, but also how to explain the uses of technology that will be needed for students to absorb what they need to out of the lesson.
