Technology Integration Now and Then

To integrate technology to me means using technology in a positive way that can help students learn.  Many people fear technology because they are not "digital natives" but rather "digital immigrants."  They have to learn to become accustom to the new advances in technology.  Todays teachers have to not only know how to teach legacy content but also future content to students.  They must learn to communicate in the language and style of the students.  Todays learners like information fast due to all the technological advances.  I grew-up using typewriters, VCR's and we found it exciting when we were able to record ourselves with a camcorder to create a home movie.   Today we have so much technology available at our fingertips that we need to find ways to utilize it.  We can not only learn from our students but also teach them using technology integration.
