Today was a day to keep learning about digital stories and how we can improve them. But, we also talked about our lesson plans and what those need to be about. At first I was very confused but now I see that you want us to think outside the box. We need to be as creative as we can so we can help our students the best we can and get them engaged. They must be engaged in what we teach or we will lose them. Technology and using many outlets will keep them engaged and doing fun things while learning.
I guess what I learned from today was that I really need to think about my past and future lesson plans and involve media and technological influences in them. Learning that now and putting them into my practice lesson plans now will help me in the future. I think it also helps me to think about how I can use technology for my everyday living too. My younger sister came up to me yesterday with help on an assignment and I was able to help her using new media tools and she loved it. I can help people even now to prepare to be a technological teacher.
From all of this, my student will be using technology and will want to in my classes. Therefore, I will need to keep that in mind while doing lesson plans. I really feel like it doesn’t have to be big projects but adding simple technology will help them too. It will keep them engaged and will excite them for more technological things we do in class in the future if I can help them enjoy it.
Video: Why We Need To Teach Technology in School

I found this video searching for one talking out technology in school. It is very simple but it gets across a point. It tells teachers they need to use media in the classroom or they will be left behind. It shows how improvement in technology in the past has changed so much and how it will continue to grow and we need to keep up and help our students keep up too.
