Week 9 PLE

• • If the technology is on topic and the students are interested, you have successfully integrated it into the classroom. As long as the subject matter applies to the lesson (as long as it relates), it is good to use and can be incorporated into the lesson.
    
  • In order for technology to be a legitimate addition to a lesson, the students should not only learn the subject matter through the technology, but also they should learn how to use to the technology.
    
  • What indicators can tell you whether or not you have chosen an appropriate technology for your lesson? First and foremost, I think it is most important to keep the attention of the students. The attention of the students is needed so they can learn. If they aren't paying attention, they can't be learning. As long as the technology does not distract the students from learning, it is appropriate to use in the classroom.
