 * EXPLANATION:** This is a nice video to share ideas with other instructors on how to integrate technology into the classroom. The video is not too intimidating and even the schools with the smallest tech budgets could grab a few ideas from this video. I also like that the video is only a few minutes long - short and to the point.

media type="custom" key="5630227" This wordle really hits some keywords from my thoughts about the role of technology in education. Of course I believe technology plays a key role in opening opportunities for learning across all curriculum. I believe technology is critical in the success of students today in order to be competitive in a global, competitive society for tomorrow. Our students today will be working in jobs that do not even exist yet. Therefore they must be prepared to be critical thinkers that can find information and process info very quickly and at a high level.

media type="custom" key="5494685" I think in my experience when I was in K-12 we spent the majority of our time in the Remembering and Understanding levels of Bloom's Taxonomy. I can understand why this is the case in the earlier grades but in the later grades I did not always feel I was challenged and able to try some of the higher levels of including evaluating and creating. Luckily, I think in today's world many of the standards and the direction the state of New Jersey is going is //project based learning//. This idea of project based learning will give students a greater opportunity to experience some higher order evaluation and creation. **

 * What I think about Technology**

media type="custom" key="5311171" Dewey wrote,"//With the growth of civilization, the gap between the original capabilities of the immature and the standards and customs of the elders increases.//" My comic stresses the gap between our generations now. Our society has become so technical that change happens at a terribly rapid pace. While our younger generations are born into this rapid-paced technological society, our older generations need to adapt in order to communicate and relate to continue to educate the youth of today.
