I personally want to teach elementary students and the ELA technology that I would pick would be introducing technology to these students. I would do it in a manner that is fun to learn and easy to understand. With that being said it would be that the students I teach in the near future might already have previous knowledge of how to work a computer or other certain devices and then I would start working with what common core has me to do and I believe that's programs online to help the students. One software I would love to use for my future students is an online discussion board, I think this is such an amazing tool to have. I remember being younger and having questions about my homework that my parents could not answer due to a language barrier and I had to struggle through the assignments and sometimes show up to class with my homework not finished. This would allow me to talk to my students openly online with supervision from an adult, parent or guardian and potent...

Being a sophomore in college I have used the MS Word plenty of times. I believe I started using word in middle school for scientific papers and all of that. So with all those years on me, you'd think I'd know a lot about this software but I actually do not know it too well. I do not know how most things work I just get my paper done and turn that in. I wish there were classes for students to teach them the basic needs for this program because in college I have seen that margins and footers and etc really are important for papers and I did not learn about this until senior year. I may be exaggerating a bit but the groove of this all is that schools do not teach these things in class and I would not mind being taught this. Amongst other things... like how to file taxes... Financial Aid.... You know.... Thankfully I have never been accused of copyright, I believe its just because I am too scared to completely copy something especially now that professors have websites like...

I believe that there are a variety of different reasons why students and teachers are influenced to use technology in the class. We are more tech savvy I feel and it allows creativity to roam throughout the classroom. With a simple computer, the professor can make a regular lecture into a slide show with pictures, videos, music, and etc. We are in a digital world and that gives us the opportunity to bring that world into our classrooms! ISTE Standards seem to be a good thing like the book said it's not about implementing technology to an outdated way of teaching it is integrating technology and potentially amplifying it in our best capacity. it allows collaboration, creativity, and communication. To be digital native means that a person was brought up in the era of when technology was booming, basically, I am a digital native. I personally do not see anything wrong with that, I can fix a TV because I know how to use google, how to use youtube and fix things quickly. Whenever...
