CDK's Education Technology Place
Website
The first thing that I found on the website was many different ways I could use technology in my future classroom like videos, links, and news. I believe that keeping up with technology is important to keep the students engaged and interested in what they are learning. I have also found different websites to help me generate some ideas. Creating a website or blog is important because it gives us a different way of communicating with the students and parents in an interesting and fun way.

iPads
I think that it is a great idea for schools to have iPads in the classroom. This is a great way for students and teachers to stay up to date and have the opportunity to learn how to use new technology. It would have different educational applications that the students and teachers can use together. Using the applications on the iPad will help the student and the teacher be organized by having it all electronically and in one spot. The students will also be engaged because they were be excited to use the iPad. The only downfalls would be the expense of an iPad but I’m sure that the schools and places where the students would buy them would find a way for every student and their family to afford it. Another problem might be the students getting off track by playing games or exploring other things than the applications they are supposed to be using during class. Overall, I believe that every school should have the opportunity to use the technology that we have today.
