Take away message 2/10

From tonight's class my thoughts on technology being integratds into the classroom has changed drastically. At first i thought that it wasn't important for teachers and now i understand that having students work with technology opens up extreme opportunities for them and their future. Seeing today that apps can be used within the classroom makes me realize that there are more resources than just a smart board for a teacher to use. Pinterest allows teachers to see ideas for lessons and units, twitter allows students to collaborate with each other, instagram allows students to see other students projects and input their opinions. One new app i learned about today was educreations. this app allows teachers to create video lessons that the students can go home and watch. i feel like this app can create so many ways to help the students connect and understand the information they are learning.
