Blog Post #12
Watch the video above: Top 10 Reasons to Use Technology in Education: iPad, Tablet, Computer, Listening Centers. Many people still do not understand why technology should be used in the classroom. After watching this video write a blog post that helps to explain why the use of technology in schools is a good idea, as if you are trying to persuade those who don't agree to change their minds. Explain how technology in the classroom has benefits for the schools AND its students. Also, explain how you would one day incorporate technology into your classroom.
The video Top Ten Reason to Use Technology in Education shows many good reasons for why technology should be used in the classroom. It helps students who are ADD to focus more in the classroom. It also lets the teachers lecture outside of the classroom, which is a great opportunity for students to get more inside class attention. Buying an iPad or other form of computer might seem like a lot of money at first, but it saves money in the long run. There will be no need to buy books, pencils, paper, or other school supplies. This saves the students and the schools a lot of money. Students who use technology will be more prepared for the future outside of school.
When I have a classroom one day, I hope to incorporate technology into is as much as I can. I want to use blogs, iPads, and smartboards. After watching last weeks video for blog post 11 I would also like to use the Nintendo DS to play educational games as well.

I like your blog post and feel as if it is something Dr. Strange would assign. In EDM310 we continue to learn how to incorporate technology in classrooms. This video I believe adds emphasis on adding technology in schools. I also liked how in your response to your blog post you mentioned how technology really saves money in the long run; many schools just look at the short term and see that huge bill up front, but in reality technology helps schools save money.
