Learning Journal #2

The role of technology inside the classroom is to enhance learning.  Technology outside of the classroom is usually used as a means to make things more convenient for the user.  These two worlds can overlap when technology is used in such a way that it not only enhances learning, but makes learning easier and more relatable to the students, thereby making things more conveninet.  This convenience comes at a cost when we begin to become dependent on technology and are unable to function and get things done the way we did before we integrated tgechnology into out lives.

Expectations

My expectations for this class are: to gain the skills necessary to successfully integrate technology into a secondary curriculum and to learn how to motivate students to learn in high risk environments.  I hope to learn more about how to use the various online social networks and all of the things that the digital world has to offer and incorporate these skills into the classroom.
