Technology in Education

With students becoming more knowledgeable and skilled with technology, it is increasingly important for teachers to stay current on technological advances that they can bring to their classrooms to engage their students in the learning process. In the Newsweek article Educators Work to Better Integrate Technology Into The Classroom, it emphasizes the way technology is changing how colleges educate future teachers so that they can then implement the most recent technologies into their classrooms upon graduating and becoming educators. An example used in this article, highlighted a 4^th grade teacher who learned during her undergraduate program how to use technology with students with special needs. This area of education is becoming increasingly important now that all students are integrated in a single classroom regardless of their abilities.
