Technology has been a great resource this year for me as a first time teacher! When looking over the resources list, there are quite a few that I have never heard of before and am eager to try. First, GooseChase sounds like an excellent way to review with student or to do a comprehension check at the end of class! I also am excited to try using BookCreator to change my presentations into books for students to reference for notes.
Currently I am using the Google Suite in my school and I have been helping students learn how to create graphs with Sheets and do virtual labs using Slides.

Technology is a wonderful resource for both teachers and students. The development of new technology that can be used in the classroom has grown exponentially over the past few years. I am excited to explore and learn more about different apps and how they can be used in my classroom. For my future classroom I hope to use class dojo or seesaw as a way to create a space to communicate with parents and families daily. Also the apps blooket and kahoot can be utilized to see how students are doing with a subject but in a non-formal way. By using these resources it can help take the pressure off students that may result from formal assessment.

I will use padlet in my classroom for many things, maybe a ticket out the door or to understand my students' prior knowledge before teaching them something. I could also use padlet for students to have discussions. I think peardoc is a great resource for students to use as well. Before this class, I had never used google classroom and I like google classroom. However, I really think that a bitmoji classroom is great for elementary aged students. I also plan to have them use seasaw to inform parents of everything that is going on in the classroom, similar to a daily newsletter that they could view at their convenience.

Technology within a lesson can be a marvelous thing for teachers nowadays. However, we must provide tech literacy to our students in order for it to be successful. Through the use of online educational tools such as Legends of Learning, an online learning platform for all ages and subjects, you can draw in your students through the lesson mini games and quizzes while monitoring progress and adjusting difficulties along the way. This is not the only option as you can create jeopardy games, "social media" post assignments, virtual lab experiments, etc. The possibilities with technology is endless, but it is ultimately HOW it is incorporated and used that matters.

# data[].attributes.body
Technology is a great way to have students interact with content and be engaged with technology, which is a very popular topic of today's evolving technological world. I do, however, think that technology should be viewed and utilized as a tool, but should not take the place of the teacher when it comes to teaching. One idea that I think would be a great tool for teachers to use in their classrooms is the use of online games, which could also act as assessments. This could be games such as Kahoot, Quizlet Live, Jeporady, online escape rooms, and so on. These games are designed to access knowledge, but not necessarily take over the role of the teacher. They provide fun and interactive practice for students.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that incorporating technology into classrooms is important in today's world, especially coming off a year where students have had a lot of virtual instruction or are using technology for just about everything in classroom due to hybrid learning or something similar.. However, I do not think that technology should replace interaction students have with their teachers and their peers. Using technology in the classroom can be a great way to engage students. Technology can also be a good tool for reinforcing students learning. I have experience using online tools like seesaw, flipgrid, book creator, kahoot, etc. Those types of online tools can be great for completing assignments and review sessions. I think finding a balance between the face-to-face/in the classroom instruction and utilizing technology is important.

# data[].attributes.body
Technology is the  future of teaching, and learning.  I would love to integrate technology into my lessons, as well as provide technology options to my students. I have had experience  using programs such as bookcreator, seesaw, flipgrid, padlet, and screencastify in  my college classes, and I would love to incorporate them into my lessons. I have used programs such as Kahoot, and quizlet in order to review information. Technology will not replace everything in my lesson. I will still want the students to interact with others and work in groups, because social interaction is a important skill for students to learn. I love technology when it works, and I hope to incorporate technology into my classroom. I want to  show my students how technology can help them in the future.

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to try using formative and goose chase in my classes. I feel that my students need more engaging technology in the classroom, as the majority of tech I use operates like a quiz. (Quizizz, Gimkits, etc). I have found that the "Among Us" inspired gimkit mode is a great way to quiz students, while using technology and encouraging them to interact with each other face to face!

# data[].attributes.body
I just recently had a technology workshop in college.  I learned so many new things that would help me integrate technology into my lessons.  One of the strategies was to use a hyperdocument in Google Classroom. The hyperdocument would include numerous activities, such as Padlet, links to articles and videos, games such as Kahoot and Quizlet, and even Flipgrid.  The students can complete many of these activities at their own pace, and it allows the teacher to become more engaged with the class and focus on students who need more support. However, I do believe that technology should not completely replace instruction.  There is definitely room for face-to-face interaction and discussions, which I find to be equally important.

# data[].attributes.body
I really like the idea of using padlet as a formative assessment/exit ticket in place of physical post it notes. I think goosechase would be a fun way to hold ice breakers with your class. Instead of using the BINGO board (see attached pic), students can do a scavenger hunt through goosechase. Students can take pictures of each other and label with names, which I would think would make it easier for students to remember each other. Seesaw is a great way for teachers to give assignments, receive completed assignments, and communicate with students AND parents. The district I work for also uses Clever to sign into the different platforms. In clever, a teacher can also add links for their students to go to. I think linoit would be a great tool to use (maybe in place of padlet) since students don't need to make an account. I have also created Blookets and put a link for the students on clever, too. Blooket is like Quizziz or Kahoot, but it has other games to keep the competition up within the competition.

# data[].attributes.body
Technology is the here and now and can be used in every classroom, including a health and physical education classroom!  Flipgrid can be used to record videos of movements in the physical education classroom.  Teachers can record videos for students to view how to properly do a movement, such as the squat.  Students can submit there own videos of themselves doing the movement for critique from the teacher.  Quizzizz can be used in the health education classroom.  Formulating quizzes on the various body systems for students to study is one way you can utilize Quizzizz.  Even using heart rate monitors to track students beats per minute during workouts is a technology that would be helpful in the hpe classroom.  The options are endless for using technology in the health and physical education classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe it is important for a teacher to integrate technology into the school day. I think it is a great way to engage student's especially in today's society, where technology is seen everywhere. I do believe though, that students still should be interacting with their peers and improving on their fundamental skills such as writing through a pencil and paper. I think technology is great, but could also be harmful to those learners that cannot afford it and are around their peers who can. I think if a school district is the one providing the students with the technology, then it would not single out a specific student. I think i can incorporate technology by making kahoots, using a smart board, seesaw, and educational computer games and websites to enhance learning,.

# data[].attributes.body
As someone who has always found technology to be challenging, I am pleasantly surprised by how excited I am to use it in my future classroom! Using technology is a must for success and will help me engage my students.  I have loved using Kahoots and EdPuzzles as pre-assessment and formative assessment strategies as well as quick exit tickets in my lesson planning.  Using these tools will be a quick way for me to gauge how much my students know and understand about each lesson and will help me modify my instruction and understand what I need to work in delivering my lessons.
As an English teacher, I believe Padlet would be a great brainstorming tool for class writing assignments.  As far as reading, we could use Padlet to make predictions in texts or to clarify meanings.  It would also be a good discussion tool for class discussions as students post their ideas and responses while the discussion happens live.

# data[].attributes.body
In my classroom, I plan to use technology to engage students in learning. A specific way is through Kahoots, where students compete to get answers right and this can also count as a form of informal assessment. With Kahoot, the teacher can see individual students' answers, but each student cannot see their peers accuracy. Kahoot provides a different way for assessing rather than paper and pencil assessment. Of course, Kahoots can only be used in grades around 2nd and up, but I think that this is a great way to engage students in learning!

# data[].attributes.body
I could not imagine teaching without technology. Especially now during the pandemic. i have listened and watched several Vlogs about the different technologies that teachers can use to make their Zooms more successful. I already have used FLip Grig that boosts student engagement. I can see myself using Seesaw in the future if I continue teaching. This can help the students upload documents, using the camera and responding to their peers.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that technology should be incorporated into my classroom as a tool for me to use, but not to replace me. I think that technology as a tool in the hands of a good teacher will help add to and improve student learning and understanding, as well as aid in the creation and execution of student tasks. One way I can try to effectively incorporate technology into my classroom is by using book creator. I really like the concept of book creator because it provides an alternative way to a typical poster-board project where students can apply and create what they've learned to such a fun application! Book creator is a tool that I can use to instruct students to show the highest level of Bloom's Taxonomy learning and encourage them to add images, audio texts, and videos-- all of which accommodate almost all types of learners.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that incorporating technology into the classroom environment, and exposing children to different types of technology is extremely important for success in todays society. When students get out into the real world and get a job, they will be expected to be competent in using technology. One way that I will incorporate technology into the classroom is by using resources such as seesaw to boost student motivation and give them experience in using many different parts of a device. Seesaw allows students to practice using a camera, uploading documents, and responding to their peers ideas. I will especially use resources such as Quizziz and Kahoot to help students review material that has already been taught. I can also incorporate videos for students to watch in order to activate their prior knowledge about a subject or to learn new content. I have also seen where teachers allow students to use educational apps on Ipads during free times. I can use Padlet to have students practice responding to a prompt and giving their reasons for their viewpoints. Students could also use this resource to respond to other's posts. Technology should be an integral part of the classroom environment, but teachers should ensure that technology is not distracting, and that it serves a purpose. Teachers should not just include technology for the sake of including technology.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that technology should be incorporated to an extent within my classroom. While it can be nice to use interactive sites and apps for lessons sometimes, I am a strong believer in the idea that we shouldn't let technology run our lives. I look to incorporate quite a few of the previous resources mentioned into my classroom. For example I can see myself incorporating seesaw for students to be able to post assignments independently and record their reading (as I've seen done in placements I've observed at) and apps like the book creator to allow students to get creative and make their own story as a project rather than write an essay or do an oral presentation, they could simply showcase their knowledge and understanding through a short book. I want to keep up with the technology movement in my classroom however I still want to maintain a majority of our class time, lessons, etc in "old school" fashion with paper or physical whiteboards. There is still a need for handwriting skills, spelling without auto-correct/spelling, reading from physical books, etc and if we don't continue to teach and use these skills we may loose them or lose parts of them to the future. Take cursive writing for example, I love it yet most people my age and younger don't know how to write cursive anymore.

# data[].attributes.body
I'd like to use technology as a fallback resource for investigation for my students. In secondary physics, the curriculum and material that needs to be covered can be rather rigid. (And most students I've encountered prefer to solve mathematical problems on pen and paper anyways.) Not to mention, it wouldn't be terribly difficult for a student to google around for some assistance, only to confuse themselves further with higher-level expressions of the same physics functions that they use in the classroom. The Internet could serve as a wonderful tool for contextualization however! A few minutes a day to demonstrate the historical introduction of a particular physics topic, perhaps presented as a class-wide "research race" with basic incentivization (snacks, etc.) could be an engaging start to a lesson.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that there should be a balance when incorporating technology into the classroom. Educators should not just stick their children in front of an iPad or other technological device. I plan to embed technology in a purposeful way to enhance student knowledge on the content delivered. I will use technology as a reinforcement tool to further learning. One way I can do this in my future classroom is during centers. When delivering Guided Reading Instruction to small groups, I could have one station that uses educational apps to enhance reading skills. Students will be able to use the technological devices to improve skills such as reading comprehension, phonics, and fluency. A few educational apps that focus on reading content are: epic!, ABCya, RAZ-kids, and hooked on phonics.

# data[].attributes.body
Technology use in classrooms can be very beneficial and helpful in many ways. I would want to use technology to not only engage my students but also to communicate with families. I would use technology for students to do projects and work on computer if they prefer that over pen and paper. They can use it to record their voice if they don't feel comfortable to stand in front of the class. I also love the idea of using technology to give brain breaks such as using go noodle to have a dance break. As for using technology to keep in touch with families there are multiple apps to upload class work and drawings and a number of other things so families can see what the class is doing and have an easy way to contact me! One other great thing about technology is that teachers can use it to see what students are doing on their computer to make sure they keep on track whether at home or in the classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that incorporating technology into daily classroom routines is very important and I will make sure to do this within my future classroom! Technology can be used in the classroom in a variety of different way. Technology examples that I plan to use are instructional interactive videos that correlate with what the students are learning, Kahoot games for review before tests and quizzes, GoNoodle for brain breaks, Class Dojo for positive behavior and parent/teacher communication, and much more! I have seen all of these technology examples used within my different field placements and found them to be extremely effective.

# data[].attributes.body
I think incorporating technology into the classroom is very important, not only because of the use of technology in modern day society but also because it can be a great motivator for students. Some ways that I would use technology in my classroom would be through the use of educational websites such as imagine math, reflex math, prodigy and similar games in other subjects. I've seen this used in the classrooms where I am currently placed and the students LOVE these tools. They are a big motivator to stay on task during other written work in order to earn time on these sites, and they are learning while they play. I would also include the use of google tools available through google drive because it allows students to work collaboratively on tasks.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe technology is becoming an essential part of everyone's life, so bringing it into the classroom will be a benefit towards everyone. One idea that I believe I could use in my future classroom is that I can show videos to the children based off of the topic they are learning. The videos would be related to their age, so it would make sense to them. Children nowadays are all about and into technology, so using it in the classroom will be an advantage for them as well. Depending on the technology available at the school, it may allow you to stay connected to the children and their families, especially now because of the pandemic and we were able to see how that affected all of us. Another idea I have that incorporates technology into my classroom is playing educational games with the children that peaks their interest, but still follows the curriculum. For example, I could use kahoot, math websites, reading websites, and more.

# data[].attributes.body
There are an abundance of ways that technology can be integrated into my future classroom. One way I will integrate technology into my classroom is by showing educational videos to go with each of my core subjects, like singalongs or an informational children's video. Another way I can use it is during our break time, I can use the site GoNoodle to help my children with their break and get them moving, while still in the classroom. Another way I can use technology could be using a powerpoint slideshow that I create everyday in order to deliver my instruction for the day!

# data[].attributes.body
Integrating technology in the classroom has become essential to student learning. Students can use different collaborative apps or sites to showcase their work to the teacher and other students. In some of the schools where I have done observations they use the app Class Dojo where students can upload videos, pictures, or text. With this, the whole class can see what they are posting. Some things that I would like to use in my classroom are different reading apps that will have countless books that the students can be more engaged and interact with. Another thing I would like to use is websites like education.com where students can play different games, but as they are playing they are actually learning and solving problems. I would also like to use Google JamBoards. While teaching a lesson, I could ask students to respond to a question on the JamBoard and then we can see all the different student responses as a class.

# data[].attributes.body
Technology has become very essential over the past year, especially with education. We rely on it more heavily than ever, and it is important we as educators understand how to use it appropriately with our students. I think sometimes it may be easier to have students do basic tasks, however they are not learning as much as they could be with all of the other programs that are out there. For example, padlet (this) is any easy way to write sticky notes and view others. There can be photos and links added and you can make comments to your peers! Another fun application, is goose chase. In this app, students may take pictures on a scavenger hunt for points! I did this at my university, and it was really fun!

# data[].attributes.body
Technology is, at this point, an essential part of the education world. With platforms such as Blackboard or Google Classroom, students are on their computers all the time. Especially with Covid and Zoom classes and other things like that, it is important to understand how to use technology in the classroom to maximize student learning. In my classroom I might have my students record themselves as playing tests, (Music Ed) or use some sort of composition program to do theory projects. The students can also use their technology to collaborate with each other both from home or from different rooms within the building if they need to for some reason.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the difficulties of teaching programming is being able to look at students' code to help find solutions and solve errors; this is especially challenging in the time of COVID where social distancing is important and some students may be joining class virtually. Technology would be a great tool to help solve this problem. A screen sharing application or tool would help me to review student's work in real time and provide a way for students to collaborate with one another.

In the future I plan to try and  integrate technology in my classroom as much as I can. In an art classroom there are some limitations as to what technologies you can use in the creation of certain media but there are a lot of different ways that technology itself can be made to create art. That being said even in the classrooms that make art that would not be thought to use technology there is room for its implementation in instruction. In conclusion I do see the need to use technology in the classroom and can see a way to implement it in my future classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
In my future classroom I plan to integrate technology into lessons as much as possible. Technology is a part of everyday life now and it's important students learn how to use different technology tools. There are a lot of fun educational apps for students to use. Some of these apps I would use are Kahoot, Seesaw, Class Dojo, Google slides, etc. I could make a Kahoot to do with the students the day before a quiz or to review content previously taught. Seesaw is a good way to make assignments interactive for students. There's a lot of different things I could do with Seesaw. In my current placement, the school loaned every student an ipad, they use it in every class as much as possible and even in specials.

# data[].attributes.body
Technology is an important tool in our world today. Many children interact with technology on a daily basis whether it be a tv or iPad. In my future classroom, I want to foster the idea that technology is an educational and instructional tool within my classroom. I want my students to be comfortable with a variety of technological aspects with the understanding that we are using the technology in the classroom to practice a skill or gain new knowledge. It is also important that children learn how to safely use technology and use it in an appropriate manner. One website I want to integrate into my classroom is Dojo. It is a helpful tool for both children and parents to reflect on their behavior. I could put in points to reward children for their hard work. With a certain amount of points, the children can also win prizes. It is also a platform that is helpful with communicating with parents because they can see what the child is doing throughout the day by checking the points and comments.

In my future classroom I would incorporate technology as much as possible and not make it seem like I am forcing the technology in. In my field placement my teacher has centers in kindergarten and one of the centers is imagine math and reading on their iPads. I like this idea because the students enjoy being on the iPads and they are learning at the same time. Another way I plan on incorporating technology is to use Seesaw to connect with families. All of my field placement teachers have used it and it makes communication much easier and more instant.

# data[].attributes.body
In my future classroom, I would love to incorporate technology as much as I can. technology is such an important thing for students to learn as when they get older it will be used often. I think because of this it is so important to start young. I plan to use seesaw when in my own classroom one day. Seesaw is such a good resource as teachers can use it to share with parents what students are doing in school and their personal work. I as a teacher would also be able to post assignments for students to do to keep them using the technology within the classroom. Technology is such a good thing to incorporate in your classroom as it is used so much in society today.

# data[].attributes.body
Within my future classroom, I am going to integrate technology as much as I can. I think it is so important to bring technology tools into education as much as possible because students are using technology outside of school, so why not bring it into the classroom and make it beneficial? Using fun, creative apps, such as PowerPoint or Seesaw will gauge students attention and they may even enjoy them so much that they decide to play around with them in their free time at home. In my placement this semester, each student has an iPad, this shows that technology is a big part of not only our lives, but education. My teacher uses mathematic apps that she can monitor their work progress, and it also gives her more time in the classroom because they are doing things independently at home through technology. This is something I would want to use in my future classroom. Another piece of technology I would use in this aspect is Flocabulary. I would have students work on this website both independently and at home.

# data[].attributes.body
In my future classroom, I would like to integrate technology into learning. Technology helps make teaching and learning more meaningful and fun. Using a variety of technology devices and tools, students can communicate, collaborate and be creative. Seesaw is a tool that I definitely want to use in the classroom. It is a digital portfolio tool where students can share their learning using photos, videos, drawings, text, PDFs and links. Many students can easily access it. I saw kindergartners even using it. Seesaw also shares what students do to teachers and parents.

# data[].attributes.body
In my future classroom I would like to incorporate technology as much as possible. We are in one of the most technologically advanced stages in our existence, and it's only getting more advanced with every year or decade. With every year, schools are adding more and more technology into our classrooms and curriculum. I would definitely be incorporating technology within my classroom, and use it as a resource to even help students with learning. For example, my observation teacher incorporates Kahoot and Quizlets within his classroom every day to help them with vocabulary words on Quizlet and with Kahoot to help them with quiz information. He keeps it light and fun with the students, by having them in teams on Kahoot and going against each other. I learned a lot from what he has been doing with technology and would definitely like to use those types of technology within my classroom. The ultimate goal is have technology as an outlet to better help students and give them the resources to succeed.

# data[].attributes.body
In my future classroom I would like to incorporate technology as much as I would be able too. Technology is a part of daily living in the era we are in. We are in the age of technology as people say, therefore technology will be used in my classroom. As the PowerPoint showed many different kids of websites and apps to use I would like to plan on using many of those. I also like this website that we are using for this course which is google classrooms. I would like to use this for my classroom on the regular in order to post assignments where students can upload their work. I will also post announcements if I would need to get information out to my students when we are not in the classroom. Technology is always advancing and new apps are being created everyday so as a teacher I will make sure to be informed and will allow technology to be used in my classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
During my student teaching experience, I intend on integrating technology in various ways. Obviously, i intend on using whatever online platform is used for the district (i.e. google classroom, schoology, etc.). In addition to these platforms, I intend on using quizlet, nearpod, peardeck, and padlet. As a future ELA teacher, these are great platforms to ensure adequate discussion and comprehension, I would also like to have a digital classroom that would have newsletters and classroom updates for students and parents. I finally would like to see students use technology to create creative projects (brochures, powerpoints, videos) to teach the class. I think technology is an incredibly important aspect that enhance and engage the classroom in the modern world.

# data[].attributes.body
During my student teaching I plan to incorporate technology in a way that the students don't realize they're learning. For example, I plan to use online resources such as kahoot, quizizz, and goose chase edu. Each of these resources have a game aspect to them while also allowing the student to review previously learned information. I also plan on using other online resources such as edpuzzle as a way to gather data on my students learning. My ultimate goal with using technology in the classroom is keeping my students engaged and showing them all the resources they have available.

# data[].attributes.body
In my future classroom, I would like to integrate classdojo. I have seen this in numerous field experiences. I want to integrate it because it allows parents to be more involved and have more insight about what is going at school and how their child is doing at school. It also makes making announcements and such a much easier process that will go straight to the parents rather than stuck in a ton of emails of something along those lines. I also like the feature of the point system it is a good progress monitoring system for monitoring student progress as well. I will definitely be using this in my future classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
In my future classroom, I would like to integrate Explain Everything into my instruction. I see my cooperating teacher struggle with technical issues or recording problems. Using a software that's purpose is to annotate on a presentation and has the ability to record, seems like a huge advantage over other programs. I can see this being used in my classroom in-person as well as for the virtual classroom. Students are so used to screens and being entertained by their phones or the TV. Using a program that can bring interesting graphics and transitions into education, will provide the opportunity for increased student engagement.

# data[].attributes.body
In today's society, there are so many great new apps and technological devices that can be incorporated into classroom instruction. During my time observing and teaching in schools, I have seen a lot of different technology apps being used. One of the ones that I have observed great success with was class dojo. This is a great app for parents to use to interact with their kids while they are at school. There is also a point reward system on the app so if the teacher notices that the student did a good job with something, he/she can give them points and their parents can see that as well. This is a positive reinforcement and forces children to want to do better in school. This is a great tool for teachers to use and it is something I will definitely use in my future classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
One way that I would like to incorporate technology into the classroom is to use Seesaw. Seesaw is a great app because the students are able to draw pictures, upload videos, upload pictures, and more that relates to the lesson topic. Parents are also able to observe and view what is being posted which is a great way to get them involved and see what their child is learning in class. It also allows teachers and families to communicate with one another through the app. This app is so versatile. Another app that I would use is Class Dojo because I love how parents are updated on how their child is doing in the class. Technology usage is crucial to today's learning and for future learning because it is constantly evolving. Teacher's who use technology within the classroom are helping the students to learn in the most efficient way possible.

# data[].attributes.body
Today's society is rapidly evolving and adapting, making the integration of technology a necessity in the classroom. One way to effectively integrate technology into the classroom is through the use of a flip grid to allow for a student to learn, understand and share their comprehension of a topic. Another way to implement technology into the classroom is by having students create a podcast. For example, when learning about the gastrointestinal system in Anatomy and Physiology, students would be able to choose an organ of this system and then create a podcast with information about this organ. Classmates and peers would then be able to listen to each others podcasts to learn about this system.

# data[].attributes.body
One way that I would like to integrate technology into the classroom is with daily check ins. In a recent field experience, my teacher showed me how she anonymously had children check in using a set of buttons in the morning. The buttons gave each student to quietly share their emotions as they came into the classroom. After every student came into the classroom, the teacher used a program to show the data on the whiteboard and the students and teacher analyze the data as a small part of their morning meeting. The level of analysis can change based on grade level.

Technology integration is an important aspect in our classrooms today because of how our world is interlaced with technology. Within the classroom, it is important to integrate technology in effective ways that will enhance learning. Technology is a useful tool for students with disabilities or for UDL. Technology can meet the needs' of students and also the needs of the class. During the pandemic, I got to view how crucial technology was to the education of the children. After experiencing that, my value of technology has increased and I can see myself using technology in a variety of ways in my classroom. Technology is a great way to build relationships and stay connected with the families of the classroom. I really like how SeeSaw allows families and teachers to interact. I can also see technology being used in my classroom for lessons and assignments. Providing students the option to use technology for research and presentation gives them more opportunities to truly showcase what they learned.

# data[].attributes.body
As mentioned in a previous assignment, I truly do believe that computerized technology is the lens by which we are able to explore the world and learn in today's time. Also, expression of academia is also stronger, better, and more creative than the pen and paper, thus the delivery of knowledge as well as the perceiving, understanding, processing, and creating of knowledge is ruled by computerized technology. With the theory behind UDL in support, I believe it to be quintessential for educators to implement technology into the classroom, be it starting with the use of laptops/Chromebooks to utilizing apps, multimedia expression, and the like. Personally, I think I would like to implement the use of the SAMR model where I can change previously created learning models and advance them by giving them an "update" which implements technology, allowing them to be more than just enhanced, but transformed to a point where students can excel and grow in their academic and educational abilities.

# data[].attributes.body
Technology is essential in our lives today. I plan to use technology in my lesson plans, to have students interact with each other and learn in ways that weren't possible before. It is proven that students learn better when having fun. Technology has provided us infinite ways to learn having fun. There are apps or websites that allow students to play against each other, quizzes, puzzles, kahoots like challenges, ect. Not only does technology make learning fun and therefore seem easy, but it also helps teachers provide students with new ways to use differentiation in classrooms. Not to mention technology also is a great resource for ESL students and students with special needs.

During my student teaching, I plan to integrate technology through presentation add-ons, such as PearDeck and Nearpod. These applications make presentations much more interactive. Students can participate using their IPads or Chromebooks, answering multiple choice questions, writing short responses, and taking short surveys. In addition, students will have many visuals, such as images and video clips, throughout my presentations.

I also plan to create Edpuzzles for my students. My current cooperating teacher assigns Edpuzzles weekly. Students watch videos on their IPads, periodically answering questions. It essentially serves as a formative assessment, allowing my co-op to gauge student understanding.

The integration of technology has become a necessity in many senses, but I feel that it must be used thoughtfully in order for it to be functional, engaging, and effective. Some ways I plan to achieve this is to not only use technology myself, to teach lessons and share content in a unique way, but also by giving my students many opportunities to utilize technology themselves. For example, I will have my students use sites like Book Creator, Explain Everything, and Educreations to demonstrate their knowledge through the use of multimedia. Also, I can develop my students' social and emotional learning with their academic learning with the use of collaborative sites like FlipGrid, Lino, and Padlet. Through technology integration, I can support my students in developing skills that will undoubtedly be beneficial for their future, based on the vast advancements in technology in the workforce and society as a whole.

Madison Bills- When I am an inservice teacher I plan to use technology as much as I can. I think technology is such a great tool and can create so many opportunities. I also think UDL lessons can be made easier  by using technology. I love using programs like Seesaw to communicate with parents and the class. I think it is a great tool to share students success. I think having a platform like Seesaw to post students work on can give the students a real audience and can be very motivating.

There are many ways that I plan to use technology in my classroom and with my students. One way I want to use technology is to give my students more access to books to read. Using the different apps and websites that have many books on it, such as EPIC are an example of a technology source that I would have my students use so they are able to have access to a large variety of books both in and outside of my classroom. Other types of technology I plan to use in my classroom are apps such as, Seesaw and Kahoot. I think Kahoot is a great app to use because students enjoy games and the use of technology and it also allows me to assess what they have learned and areas they still need work in. Seesaw is also a great app to use in and outside of the classroom. I think it is a great way to allow parents to be involved in their child's education and be able to receive feedback from about their child's progress in the classroom. Another way I would use Seesaw is by putting the students homework assignments on Seesaw and having them turn it on there as well. This is a great way for students to enjoy doing their homework while also taking the responsibility of making sure it is turned in on time. It also can alleviate the issue of lost homework, which often occurs when students complete is but it gets lost between home and school.

# data[].attributes.body
I would love to use technology in a fun way to almost trick my students into learning. For example, using peardeck, or kahoot as a review game can excite my students while it is showing me what they know. Also, I believe allowing my students to use technology such as reading apps caan enhance their love of reading and their experiences with school all together. If I were to teach middle school or high school, I believe allowing them to take notes on their computer could be nice, too.

Using technology in the classroom is becoming increasingly important. During the pandemic technology has been used more and more in the classroom as learning tools and to connect the students to the teacher and each other. I think that using seesaw in the classroom could be really beneficial because not only can you use it to engage and interest students you can also use it to create activities and reflect on student work. This also allows children's parents and guardians to be able to see what the students are working on and comment, helping to expand and build the community in and out of the classroom. There are so many different options and different technology that you can use throughout the classroom. There are so many different websites and apps that are great like seesaw, book creator, and class dojo, just to name a few.

# data[].attributes.body
Using different types of technologies to assess in the classroom seems beneficial to me! I think allowing students to get creative and make their representation or the knowledge unique can help them be more engaged! Some of the different applications and websites that were shown on the google slides prevention such as Book Creator, Edutopia, Seesaw, and others provide an awesome way for students to present their knowledge.

# data[].attributes.body
Being able to integrate technology in my classroom will not only engage my students, it will also set them up for future success in their education and also in the real world.  I would encourage my students to use tools such as Book Creator to be able to share something about them selves that their classmates don't know about them.  Students can add images, color, and text to make it more appealing.  Using Remind and Class Dojo will also be encouraged.  This is a great way to get families and the community involved in students education.  Flipgrid is another great technology tool that I would like to implement in my classroom.  Students could use this tool in different content areas, one area could be science.  Students could  research habitats and provide a short video on the definition  and an animal.  Peers could comment on the video as well, such a great technology tool.

In my future science classroom, I see technology being used in many different ways. First, I can integrate technology into labs that students do. I can have them investigate and research things on the computer as part of the lab and have them record their data on a computer. I can also have them type a lab report and share ideas with other students using technology. I can also use something like Flipgrid to have students record their own weather forecasts. I could use Padlet to have students post their views or ideas on a certain science topic and pick a few students to respond to. I could even have students play a review game with Kahoot. I think the possibilites are endless and using technology will allow for more creativity.

# data[].attributes.body
Using technology in the classroom will not only excite your students because they enjoy using technology, especially in this digital age, but they will learn a lot through it as well. I really enjoy technology where students can see each other's work as well as have their parents see their work. An app that is like that is called Seesaw. I love Seesaw because there is a variety of formats that students can use to complete their assignments. They can draw, submit videos and photos, upload documents, share links, and use a note pad. I also love how parents and teachers as well as other classmates can comment on other people's work. It seems to promote a classroom community and as we know as future educators, students can learn a lot from each other. I will be using Seesaw as much as I possibly can when I student teach.

# data[].attributes.body
Technology in the classroom is advancing, so it is becoming more important to incorporate technology use for younger students. I can attest to this because I have seen a lot of iPad app usage in elementary classrooms when I teach as a substitute. I would really like to try using either Flipgrid or Padlet to have students respond in different ways to a single assignment. I also thought about using Seesaw as a tool for my class to engage in various activities and respond to posts made by their classmates. By doing this, I would also be promoting social emotional learning because I would be facilitating classwide communication. Overall, I don't want to overuse technology because I think that there is a fine line that should not be crossed. However, I would like to differentiate activities on Seesaw, Padlet, or Flipgrid so that students can have opportunities to respond to questions and have easier access to activities and online assignments.

Technology is becoming more and more prominent in our society and especially in the younger generations. Incorporating technology in education provides a meaningful and resourceful way to teach young children. One way I will try to effectively integrate technology in my classroom is through the use of a class wide resource such as seesaw or dojo. I think it's great to have a place where the students are able to access many of their assignments and different learning resources to expand their knowledge of concepts in class. It is also a great place to bring the whole class together especially in such times like today where more often than not classrooms are virtual it allows students to interact and share with each other and comment on their classmates work, etc.

If the past year has taught educators anything, it is that teachers can no longer push technology to the side and rely on the traditional textbook. Since the pandemic, a lot of school districts have gone one to one, giving every student some type of device (i.e. chrome book/iPads) to assist them in their classes and complete assignments. If this is the case for the school district I student teach in, I would love to have students use Padlet or Lino to respond to their daily warm up question. By doing this, the responses are easily shared amongst the students as they can see them on the projected screen and their personal screen. I believe using this technology will save instructional time as I do not have to wait for students to walk up to the board, physically record their answer, and then return. Furthermore, it also allows for everyone's answer to be displayed instead of only a few select students'. Overall, it is highly important for educators to familiarize themselves with these resources and introduce them to their students because they are not going away, and chances are, someone will have the students use them some point along the road.

Learning during the pandemic has dramatically informed my awareness of technology in the classroom (and “as the classroom”). As a preservice teacher, I have been a consumer of various online learning tools, and as a future educator, I see no slowing in the need to grow along with the technology. Every app, program, platform, and learning management system has its own login, rules, skills, and various built-in challenges. However, while it is important to effectively use what we have, we perhaps more importantly, need to cultivate a mindset that will allow us to stay flexible with the potential that will inevitably arise.

I think there are attributes of technological literacy that require us to engage with aspects of higher level thinking regardless of the specific electronic medium. In the classroom, I believe implementing technology will involve helping students develop problem-solving skills, reflect on use and purpose, and find better ways to address learning objectives through personal investigation. By investing time in the characteristics of technological literacy, I believe we are equipping our learners with the tools for lifelong success in a digital world.

I thought my teachers in high school were so high tech when they used PowerPoints with animation, video links incorporated into the presentation. Then, through my observation and PD at the school I work at, I realized there are infinite other uses of technology to present lessons to students and for students to learn. Now, after going through the Instructional & Assistive Technology module, I see there are more than just the G-Suite resources available. I want to look at the SAMR model as a lap pool where technology will be heavily used where appropriate and not used at all during other times of instruction. I will try to incorporate GoogleSites into each unit. I want to put each section in a new ta on the website so that student will have all of the information available to them when I give a summative assessment.

# data[].attributes.body
I intend to build upon the technology I already use in the classroom. More common items as whiteboards, projectors and video links and the schoology platform. I want to build upon what I use and create more interactive and fun learning experiences. I am slowly building a larger library of technology applications and platforms to incorporate in some lessons. Using student Ipads or work stations to look for evidence or information to build upon a concept for writing or to allow for additional learning games I think will effectively allow my students to learn more while having fun. I believe while students are engaged in fun on line learning they can also work with partners or groups to build more information, more subject matter and increased responses that are well thought out and are backed by factual information.

Technology is essential in children's education and will be integrated more and more as years come. There are many unique ways children can use technology inside and outside of the classroom. One new device and tool I see a variety of teachers using is Seesaw. I hope to use Seesaw to integrate technology effectively. Seesaw is a great way for students to engage with peers. They are able to post pictures, draw and record themselves. Not only can students demonstrate and share their learning but families can check in on their child's work. Teachers can find or create interactive activities with their students. Seesaw is a great way to share what is going on in the classroom. This app can be accessed on any device and can be used at home or in school. This is a nice way to connect, communicate and collaborate with your students and their families.

Technology is a huge part of children's lives in today's society. It is only natural that technology has found its way into the classroom and is used strategically to promote student learning. One way I can effectively integrate technology into my classroom is by using the Google extension Jamboard. I have seen Jamboard utilized in one of my field placements and loved the participation it required of students. Jamboard is basically a whiteboard feature where more than one person can edit at a time. You can add text, photos, shapes, sticky notes, and draw all on the same page. This is a great resource for teacher's to create interactive anchor charts with their students. Also, it is a clean space to share ideas and expand upon concepts visually for students to further their understanding. I think Jamboard is especially beneficial for schools now that may still be teaching remotely, as it can be accessed from anyone's personal computer.

Technology is something that we are using more and more everyday. It is crucial that teachers use it in the classroom in a way that is meaningful and effective. There are many ways I will integrate technology into my future classroom. First, many teachers and schools use several platforms such as class dojo to communicate effectively with families. Through this technology, I will be able to share information, student's work, and images of my students to communicate as well as build and maintain positive relationships with my student's families. In addition, I will use technology to introduce information to my students in an engaging manner, as well as to assess and reinforce information. Technology will continue to become more and more used in our everyday lives, and as educators it is crucial we learn and continue to use it in an effective and meaningful manner.

As technology becomes more and more advanced, I find it crucial that we use it in the classroom, but with reason and purpose. I do not find it useful to just throw an iPad at a student and say, "Do what you want." I have seen teachers use many different apps and websites to help students gain knowledge and increase their reading, writing, and math skills. I find Seesaw to be a huge hit for teachers nowadays, because it can be used at home as well! It also allows families to see what their children are doing in school and teachers get to communicate with them in a more relaxed, but efficient manner. I do not see technology becoming any less popular, so it is evident that teachers begin to research ways to incorporate it in the classroom in a way that the students will learn and grow each day!

# data[].attributes.body
One way I can try to effectively integrate technology in the classroom is to make technology a routine. I would implement it everyday in the classroom making it familiar and comfortable for students. I could use tools like seesaw to have students to submit work and I could view/make comments. This is just one small way to integrate technology. Students have access and most schools have the resources to provide some form of technology to students like ipads. Using programs like seesaw would allow teachers to give feedback in a timely manner to students. It would also create a sense of responsibility in students in making sure they are turning in their assignments. Paper is quickly becoming irrelevant. There is no longer the excuse of leaving the homework at home or not having a pencil. The tools are provided and now we just have to use them effectively.

# data[].attributes.body
In the classroom I have used technology in many ways. One way is using something like class dojo to track student behaviors. This allows for parents to see how their children are doing in the classroom. Another thing I saw and loved was a thing my teacher did on Friday afternoons with inquiry based learning. The students were able to come up with their own research topics and use their computers to help them. They would use different search engines the teacher provided to do research. When they finished they would present to their class. I liked this because the student's were able to work independently and explore on their own. One thing I hope to use in my future classroom is seesaw. I like how it allows students to do so many different things while helping them learn.

# data[].attributes.body
As a teacher I have used technology in several ways. I like to use Lino as a tool to check the students knowledge and for a ticket out the door. I like Educreations as a tool because the students and I can use the whiteboard part of the app. This helps me gain knowledge of how each student is learning the content without them copying their peers answers. It also is a great tool for students who aren't sure of the answers but keeps them anonymous.
I have not had the oppertunity to use goosechase.edu but i do think this would be a great interactive way to get students excited about the content being presented.

Technology can be beneficial when integrated into a health or PE class.  When using technology in a PE class you have to make sure it is not taking away from activity time for the students.  Technology such as heart rate monitors and pedometers can easily be used in a PE setting without compromising activity time for the students.  Using technology to demonstrate activities and play music also usually doesn't take away from activity time and most students enjoy when it is integrated in these ways.  Technology can easily be integrated into a health class.  I've used PowerPoints and assessment tools such a Kahoot!.  You can also post questions or provide a topic on a blog for the class and have students respond and have discussions.

Technology is going to be integrated more and more into our daily lives. It is best to take advantage of all that it has to offer. One way that I would like to try to effectively integrate technology in my classroom is using Book Creator. It promotes reading and literary skills with giving the option of being personalized.  It also allows for multiple ways of integration by allowing text, audio, video and images.

# data[].attributes.body
In this age of social media and news sources coming from online platforms it's important for students to understand how to use the internet and other forms of technology responsibly. Before using any technology in the classroom, I feel it's important to reveiw with students how to be safe while using technology. One resource that caught my eye was Book Creator. As an English teacher, this seems like a resource you could use teaching many different concepts to students. I feel I can use this in my student teaching to engage students with online resources about reading.

I've always loved classes that integrate technology when working with students. We live in a world where technology is pretty much everywhere, and excluding it from classes feels like a waste. As a teacher, I would most likely include flipgrid or kahoot into my classes. Kahoot reminds me of using jeopardy games in class to study for tests and turning it into a fun little contest to do in small group sessions. It's a way of kids to remind themselves of prior learning, and on the teacher end you can see which students scored wrong and find out what certain weak points might need to be revisited to help students. Flipgrid is such a fun way of integrating into class that lets students get creative. Even using flipgrid to present or introductions can be such a fun thing to do for students.

I believe there are many ways to beneficially integrate technology into education. I think Seesaw in particular could be really helpful in a music setting. Because Seesaw allows students to share photos, videos, and drawings, this could be helpful for activities such as playing something they learned, take a picture of somewhere they went, or draw a picture of what they think a piece of music is depicting through sound. I think websites like Noteflight or Flat.io are also websites that I would like to use in future lessons. This allows students to create music by dragging notes onto a staff, choosing the rhythms of each note, and listening to the music they create as they are writing it. They could then share this with their classmates for feedback on something like Padlet or Seesaw.

This module has been really helpful in directing my thinking as to how I could incorporate technology in the classroom. I think one cool app that I saw was goosechase. I could envision myself using it in the math classroom by doing a scavenger hunt with students, perhaps in a unit with fractions. Students would be required to find objects outside (hopefully we could do the activity outside) that represent certain fractions (for example, I could have a pizza box laying somewhere with one slice of pizza in it, representing the fraction 1/8). They could then take a picture of that object to match it with the fraction listed on the app. I could make it a group project as well. This could be a great way to help students stay engaged.

Technology can be very important for me as a future health and physical educator. Normally, technology has been seen as assisting down activity. Through my experiences I have seen teachers use technology to promote activity. One example is the use of a smart board to show demonstrations and directions. Another teacher used dance dance revolution for a movement unit. Technology doesn't have to mean students are less active. They can be tools that enhance learning and allow students to succeed.

# data[].attributes.body
The integration of technology into the classroom is important and can be done with creativity. Music education is a place where technology could be integrated easily. For example, if we are currently working on identifying major and minor chords, I could provide students with recordings of chords or pieces that fall within major and minor. The students could then select whether they believe the chord is major or minor and be met with confirmation or explanation. I could also direct my students to a number of websites or apps that feature a myriad of musical games to help them practice their ear training and improve their ability to differentiate between major and minor chords and sounds. There are also resources that would allow students to build chords themselves and better understand the composition of chords.

Technology is important in every classroom even when that classroom is a gymnasium. With being a health a physical education major I have learned the importance to keep students active as much as possible. Though technology normally involves students sitting still, I have seen it used to keep students active. One teacher used the smart board to show students different dance moves and to play music through. Another teacher had a dance dance revolution unit. Technology can also be used show demonstrations and show game play so students can understand rules and movements better. Some teachers even use heart rate monitors so students are able to see their effort level. Technology allows teachers to use alternative ways for students to be active and learn.

As future educators, it is only fair to say that technology will surround us in a short amount of time.  It is important for us to begin to integrate technology into our classrooms, as well as maintaining a balance between tech time and hands-on textile learning activities.  I will be student teaching in a preschool classroom for eight weeks and then again in a kindergarten classroom.  Due to COVID, my kindergarten placement will most likely be a complete virtual experience and/or at least 50% when considering the hybrid schedule. With the students being virtual, I have seen teachers conducting their lessons over Google Classroom, Zoom meetings, EdPuzzle, Seesaw, iReady, etc. Incorporating technology into the classrooms is a sure fire way to even have the possibility of incorporating lessons/activities for students during a time like this (pandemic) as well as students home from school due to weather, etc.

In a physical education classroom, technology can definitely be used. It may not be used exactly the same way that it would be used in a typical classroom but it is still beneficial in a gym. Especially given the circumstances right now, I know many Phys Ed teachers who are relying heavily on technology. One way technology can be used is YouTube videos for certain workout activities. Also, heart monitors or wearable health trackers are a great use of technology in Phys Ed. iPads would also be a great tool to use to quickly test students' knowledge of the actual content of lessons, rather than just their physical ability to complete a certain skill.

# data[].attributes.body
As a future educator it is recognized that technology is the future of education. Whether teachers want to accept this or not, we all better get on board. More often than not, students have made very valid points such as, teachers ask us the students to learn something a specific way, why can't teachers learn technology as a means to educate us? So teachers need to get on board with technology. Specifically, as a Physical Educator, technology tends to be a little more challenging because Physical Education for the most part is hands on. So in a Pandemic Virtual era using resources such as Open PhysEd becomes extremely helpful because within this platform Open PhysEd offers activities, interactive games, and other helpful suggestions to use to educate students on the importance of being healthy all while being in a virtual setting. So I would utilize this website on suggestions and strategies to accomplish what I want to accomplish depending on curriculum. .

Technology can be incorporated in a variety of ways in the music classroom, from notation software where students can compose their own works to SmartMusic where the teacher can provide feedback on the students' performances. In this Covid-19 era particularly where band can be difficult to do, students can be given a small ensemble piece (same instrument) and they must learn to play each part, video record themselves, and then put the videos together. This way, students are seeing what it is like to play harmonies and melodies (as opposed to just playing the one part they would normally play in band) as well as seeing what it takes to create a quality video.

I love exploring different technologies and finding uses for them in my classroom. I really like looking for content specific stuff. I have found several websites that I think would be useful for enrichment in social studies. One of my favorite websites is called iCivics. It was created by Justice Sandra Day O'Conner. It helps explain the court system in an easy to understand and fun way. On there is a game where students may choose a law case that was argued before the Supreme Court and they may select to argue for either side. I would have students pick a court case we learned about and play that game. This website and many others provide very useful tools for teachers.

There are so many options for me to integrate technology effectively in an art classroom. In my previous placement, my mentor teacher uses technology quite a bit. Because of COVID, our art kits had not arrived on time so we had the students create art projects on their iPads through digital drawing apps. If a student is finished with a project, they are also able to play art games or use their drawing apps to make personal art. A few other ways to incorporate technology would include research for projects, games, group discussion posts, or a way to share their art on a digital platform. There are so many ways to incorporate technology in the art classroom.

To be honest, it seems rather futile to me when educators try and avoid technology in this day and age. Technology as a concept is a constant at this point, and it only will continue to grow and evolve as time goes on. That being said, a lot of older teachers that I have observed are really against technology because they believe it will cause distractions. While I see that argument, I think that the way of the world points more and more towards needing this fluid integration of tech in the classroom. Personally, I really loved the idea of creating my own website. For a project in English class, group members and I had to create a website about a research topic of our choice surrounding abolition literature. We chose to focus on what Harrisburg newspapers were saying about the underground railroad in the mid 1800s. I found this was an engaging way for me to use technology while learning something extremely valuable in the process.

There are so many great apps and sites out there to integrate into our classrooms. Through subbing and having my own children in school, I have used and seen many of them in action. I have seen my own children use the ChatterPix Kids app in school. They used it when to record stories they wrote in class and then posted to their SeeSaw account. I would like to use this app in a class in a similar way. I also really like Prodigy for math. Students have to complete math problems and then are rewarded with a short battle game. Teachers can assign students different levels based on ability and then the program adjusts based on student answers to the questions. EdPuzzle, Quizizz, and Kahoot are other apps I used a lot when I had long term sub positions in middle and high school. I plan to continue to use these.

A great way that I have seen technology integrated into the classroom was in an undergraduate English class. The professor had students create their own digital portfolio on Wix which included information about themselves, an explanation of their writing process, and samples of their written work. I thought this was a fabulous way to compile and display work, especially for students to build upon over the years. It not only allowed students to be creative and use multiple media, but it allowed them to work through the extremely difficult metacognition of explaining their writing process and communicating it to future employers, grad schools, and the world. I think this project and integration of technology could easily be done at the high school level and integrated throughout the school year. Additionally, students could update the class on their project via a Linoit or Padlet discussion board, ask questions, and respond to each other as they work through their writing process and how to effectively use the technology to communicate.

Technology can be integrated into my future music classroom in so many ways. One way I thought out in multiple levels similar to the SAMR model. A start would be playing music videos for students to hear different styles of music from around the world. This concept could be taken deeper by then having the class perform the music in a similar manner and record the performance. Taken a step further the class could video chat with a different class in another part of the world where the music is common. They can gain understanding and both classes could create a virtual performance of the music style. There are many up and coming ways of creating virtual performances, as the pandemic has fueled the need for this technology. One app that can be used is Upbeat Music App. This app allows people to sing or play to a back track given by the teacher. The students then perform and the video is edited together seeing all performers. I think these would be great steps in throwing a music class into the music of another culture.

# data[].attributes.body
Music education can be a great place for the integration of technology. For example, students could use programs like Finale, Note flight, and Sibelius to create their own music compositions. The SAMR model is extremely helpful. Music Theory students could maximize their writing time by using these programs. It is easier to edit, erase, and start over. This is one way that I can try to effectively integrate technology into my own classroom.

As a future foreign language teacher, I want my students to see that learning a foreign language is an extremely valuable skill in the real world. A great way to help students to see just how useful language skills are is through introducing them to the places around the world that use the language. I would love to try my hand at a Google Maps/Google Streetview search or scavenger hunt of some kind where I have my students explore countries and specific locations where the foreign language they are learning is spoken (in my case, I would be teaching Spanish and showing them around various Latin American countries, South American countries and Spain). Google Maps is a great instructional technology that provides awesome visuals and immerses students right in with other cultures virtually.

During my junior field placement in a French classroom, there are 2 times that I incorporated technology that stand out to me. The first was through creating a collaborative vocabulary list that the students made themselves via a shared Google Doc. Another way I used technology was by using Quizizz as a formative assessment, and the students loved it! I can see myself incorporating technology in the future building on those 2 activities and adding others like creating blog posts or videos to give students opportunities to write and speak in French in a format different than writing essays or speaking in Front of all their peers at once.

Being a PE educator, technology can make or break a lesson sometimes. It can be a way to expand on activities, when it works of course. I've seen technology be used as a communicative tool often between teacher and students or teacher and parents. In PE we have to be more careful about using certain technology tools because a lot more is physically happening compared to a typical classroom (when we are in person rather than zoom during covid times). I could use online dancing platforms to create a Dance Dance Revolution sort of activity during my rhythm unit. I have seen other educators use apps to create their own GIFS of them doing a workout they want the students to follow, which then just repeats itself as a constant showing during the activity for the students. I have also seen apps that randomly create teams for the students when you plug in their names, which makes it easier for on the spot activities.

Flat.io is a great way for music teachers to organize and share practice excerpts (for performance or composition), and writing assignments. As a teacher, I will most likely use flat.io with bloom's higher level thinking skills. For example, students may be asked to create a 4 bar simple melody with notes C-G. That assignment would foster creative growth and ear training within simple parameters. This could be done in small groups using effective strategies such as brainstorm carousels or collaborative pairs, or independently to submit for summative assessment. Another activity students could do is listen to a small excerpt from a piece on their rep list and try to find the errors. Again, this could be done collaboratively or independently but probably as a stretch formative assessment.

For mathematics technology is crucial for student development. Using padlet, desmos, geogebra, graphing calculators, etc. are a few examples of how technology can be incorporated into the classroom.. Students can work independently or in small groups with the technology to further the experience.

For any class, the use of technology needs to be carefully thought out. For physical education I think this is especially true. It is easy for technology in this context to take away from the physical health benefits that the course aims to provide and take students' attention away from reality and have them hyper-focus on a game. I would prefer to use technology in most cases for power point presentations at the beginning and end of class, and for work that can be done outside of class. Using technology for non-exercise activities leaves a lot more time for physical activity in class. With that being said I would like to incorporate technology that will keeps students active all days of the week which I will do by using some type of pedometer or geocaching. I see a lot of value in gamifying exercise, so these could be very useful.

When it comes to science, nothing beats in person laboratory activities. However, as we have seen in 2020, in person is not always possible. That is where PHET comes in. They have interesting and interactive laboratory activities which can assist students with their understanding of scientific content as close to an in person lab as possible. Utilizing PHET is one way that I will integrate technology into my classroom, even if we are in person. I love a "flipped" lesson, so I will have a lab in class, then use an EdPuzzle video for homework which more deeply describes the concepts they learned in class, and allow them to perform a couple of laboratory type tasks using a PHET option just to help reinforce what they did in class. it's that simple! Check it out.

There are many ways technology can be an amazing tool in the music ed classroom. Going through the SAMR model, many technological tools I've used in my experience fit quite well. For instance, Smart music is a great tool for several distinctive of SAMR. It provides a way for students to listen to music, get immediate note accuracy feedback, and play along themselves. Other tools include Garage Band, which provides students an opportunity to be creative by creating a song and sharing it with others.
