1.) Technology is becoming a great and useful tool through a students education. Technology offers a student many different resources such as word processing, powerpoint, world wide web, and many other search engines. With all of the advances in technology it's helpful to have the students know how to use the current technology to his/her advantage. The one concern that i have about technology would be that maybe it could become a distraction in the classroom. Students may become to distracted with the internet readily at their hands.

2.) The students in grades pk-2 are expected to communicate their reasoning and stories using digi-tools. Also students will work together in groups to create a digital presentation or product.These targeted outcomes are very achievable for the grade level I want to teach. Technology will aid me in teaching students in group work and other activities.

3.) I would use powerpoint to display a lesson plan or for an activity. I would incorporate technology in the daily lesson plan to further the students academic achievement. Also I would teach students on how to explore and use the internet. When I was in Grade school I would enjoy viewing a presentation on the projector or going to the computer lab. When I was given the chance to explore what technology had to contribute to my education, I would be amazed! I want to give my students the same opportunity that I was given.
