Daily Technology Integration in the Classroom

Over the last few years the amount of technology that has been created can be overwhelming.  Everywhere you look there is some sort of new technology that is being used.  Within the classroom, these technologies can be a wonderful addition to student's tool box to help assist them with their learning.  Everyday you see more and more teachers using smartboards, ipads, elmos, laptops, and many more items in their classroom.  It is quickly becoming an expectation for teachers to use some sort of technology tool in their class everyday.  While some may think this could be a distraction for students, teachers have been able to use these tools to positively impact their students.   Whether it is posting on discussion boards, playing educational games, or creating items graphs using spread sheets, students have been able to take technology and use it to help them get ahead in their academic career.
