As and inspiring teacher, technology is very important. The use of technology is everywhere from a computer chips running the local car washes to cars being able to run without keys. The age of technology is a good age. It makes it a lot easier for teachers. Technology allows the luxury of less paper usage, more interaction with students, and being able to communicate a whole lot better.

So teachers that are not subject to change will just have get out of their own ways and just learn how to cope with technology. There are so many uses and ideas for technology. I mean my eyes were open. You can use your mobile device as a tool to teach. Also use Museum Box, to create class and homework assignments. In addition to, you can perform experiments, take virtual trips around the world, and communicate by using Skype, Elluminate, and other devices for wireless communications. Technology is amazing.

As a teacher, a positive attitude towards your students and learning environment is a very important tool to assure academic success among students. Technology has grown over the years providing new learning styles and educational resources. It is important for teachers to incorporate technology into his or her classroom as a result; students become engaged and the more engaged students are the eager they are to learn and accomplish task. As teachers we should be proficient in the use of technology and collaborate with students and parents using new forms of technology. In closing, we should remember that our attitudes affect our students and parents. We should always be positive and provide a safe and positive learning environment for our students. AJ

==I believe that without the proper attitude in associating with students, teachers, and administrators our mission is dome to fail. There must be a sincere desire to want to make a difference in order to be an effective educator. Our goal should be is to do all we can to ensure that the students have every opportunity to be able to learned in a positive way. An environment that is conductive for learning. They should have every opportunity to succeed given the proper tools. We can do it better if we do it together. Dr. Chesley this is my short assessment on this subject matter.==

As a teacher, your attitude towards anything directly affects your students. In regards to technology, it is important for the teacher to stay positive even if he or she is struggling with a specific software or program. In some cases the students may be able to help in navigating through different programs thus, aiding their and your understanding. If a teacher is using new software or programs, workshops should be held by the school or independently through outside organizations to guide teachers through the process before they get in a classroom setting. By taking advantage of these workshops teachers can save valuable time and avoid showing their emotions to the students if problems occur with their knowledge or understanding of a program or software.

The attitude of a teacher in the classroom sets the mood and the mode for how the classroom will run throughout the school year. If the teacher has a positive attitude, in general, the students will pick up on that and carry it out in their actions of the classroom. When it comes to technology as we continue to move further into the 21st century, it is very evident that this is the age of technology. Every few months there is a new or updated version of some form of technology, from smart phones and flat screen 3D televisions to the different types of technologies available in the classrooms. We as educators need to help our students become productive citizens and this includes making sure they are able to function in this highly technologically advanced society. Due to this high demand, we ourselves need to be willing to utilize technologies in the classroom with our students. This goes beyond using a powerpoint. We need to be able to incorporate spreadsheets, for grades and our own purposes, and different websites and software into the lessons set up for students. Therefore more teachers should be willing to attend workshops, take extra classes and learn from different advisors on how to do this. Technology is not a scary new aspect that we should shy away from, but it is the wave of the future that we need to embrace positively and allow our students to be able to embrace it as well. The more we can teach ourselves, the more we can teach them and help to reach the once said un-reachable students.

Integrating technology into classroom instruction means more than teaching basic computer skills and software programs in a separate computer class. Helpful tech integration must happen across the curriculum in ways that research shows deepen and enhance the learning process. In particular, it must support four key components of learning: active appointment, participation in groups, common interaction and feedback, and connection to real-world experts. Effective technology integration is achieved when the use of technology is routine and transparent and when technology supports curricular goals. Shatina Morgan
