Most of the time when we think of technology in the classroom it comes in the form of a teacher or professor standing behind a desk using a power point or document cam as part of their lecture for the day. This is a perfectly acceptable use of technology but there is so much more that can be done even in a large class setting. Some examples are Interactive quizzes such as Kahoot.it to check background knowledge. You can also use it to collect data from your students in a much quicker manner through various apps and tools.

Technology, friend or foe? It's a thing of beauty when it works. It can expand a lesson, giving educators tools that at one time were unimaginable, taking the classroom into a realm of infinite possibilities. Then the internet goes down and there's utter chaos, rioting in the classroom. Maybe not so dramatic, but when you're in the classroom and technology goes down it can feel like the end of the world.

Using Technology in the classroom to me means , the instructor and student are utilizing some form of advancement to better their learning situation. Personally I am a proponent of anything that helps in the learning process . technology can be a hindrance with things such as a cell phones but things like tablets and smart boards can be huge helps so I personally thing the benefits outweigh the negative aspects.

I often hear teachers use statements or make comments that portrays a similar attitude to this meme.  Although it can be sarcastically funny, I hope to always keep up with new technology as best as I can. I have witnessed some teachers in their later years fall very behind technologically speaking because of a refusal to learn new things. I've always been told a teacher is a life long learner and I hope to live that out throughout my career.

As a first grade teacher, who works in a school that's 1-to-1 with Chromebooks for 2-12th graders, I have a love/hate relationship with technology. My students are just being introduced to it for the first time as they prepare to receive their own laptop in second grade, so I must allow them the opportunity to familiarize themselves with it. However, it seems to malfunction when it is needed most, and 6 year olds don't have very much patience with regards to anything really. I have come to prefer the old fashioned ways of paper and pencil based on my experiences in the classroom. Paper and pencil never let me down! But I must change my ways I suppose.

To me, technology in the classroom means enhancing and expanding student knowledge and understanding.

Technology is all about opening up a students' imagination and letting them explore the technology and the world that is out there, but also teaching them how to survive without it.

Technology is changing so quickly that it is almost a full-time job just staying up to date on how to utilize it at its most basic level. Thats what makes it so imperative for teachers to stay up to date, and give their students a competitive education.

Technology is really about creation. Online texts are a new way of learning for even teachers.

Technology is only as good as the teacher allows it. There are many resources that go unused in the classroom and many technological resources that are used which do not truly enhance the learning environment. Simply because technology exists does not automatically make it superior to other types of learning tools and activities.
