My Beliefs

Before taking this class I didn’t think that using technology in my lesson plans was that big of a deal. The only thought of technology use in my class as showing video clips of performances and things like that to my theatre classes. After reading the Net Standards I see how I can and must implement technology in the classroom. I know see there are many uses in the class. I can get them to do blogs, do webQuests for projects and prepare PowerPoints to enhance their learning.

These students we are teaching are all about the internet and having media with them at all times. In the video clip millennial generation we see how important technology and having it with them all the time is. Since this is the case it is imperative we apply this in our classes. In the article, “The New WWW we see how students need technology or they will be bored. They are so used to using it in daily life that if we don’t implement it in our classes they could get bored. I really do now see how important this using these tools in our teaching is. We need to keep up with the times and use those things that will help our students learn the best and I think technology is a great way to do this.
