Technology in our classroom

Hello all,
An important goal for my Georgia Studies class is to successfully integrate technology into our lessons. Technology has become an essential aspect of our modern world and it is my belief that students should be exposed to it throughout their learning experience. Technology can be as basic as conducting research on the interent, but it should always be used in a way that adds enrichment to the established curriculum. This year students will have numerous opportunities to learn through the use of technology. Students will be required to participate in the class blog and will have many in-class assignments that incorporate technology. Both parents and students: please share your thoughts on technology incorporation in the classroom with myself and one another through this blog!

Here are links for the technology integration standards for both students and teachers:
