Role of technology in my education

Being from a smaller higher school has definitely restricted the use of modern technology in my education.  All through out most of my high school all we had were computers and laptops, but teachers never really used them for our education.  They were only used primarily used in my math classes.  However, that later part of my Junior year and into my senior year, our school purchased a couple of smart boards.  I thought that these advancements in my last one and a half years played a big role in my education.  These advancements made it easier for the teachers to educate us students.  They found things on the internet to help enhance the lessons that they were giving to us.  

I can see technology playing a huge role in my career as an educator.  It has already been two years since I have left my high school and they have already given all the students in it iPads.  After talking to some of my friends that still go there, I've realized that their education has changed dramatically.  They have said that they only use the iPads for all their homework and rarely use notebooks and writing notes.  If this is how much technology can advance in a school after two years, I can't imagine what it could be in 4 or 5 years.  I can see technology playing the main role in schools in the near future.  It pretty much already is playing a big role, but I can see it getting bigger and bigger through out every level of education.

My First Blog

I'm really excited to get to know how to incorporate technology into the classroom so that students will be able to learn way more than they would with just a teacher lecturing to them.  I am also excited to be able to discover all the different types of ways technology can help a teacher in and also out of the classroom.
