Module 1 Reading Response

After reading the articles on NETs and P21, I have learned about how important technology is and that teachers need to work hard to incorporate as much technology as possible into their teaching. As we move toward a more technological advanced society we need to try to incorporate the NET's into our every day teaching. The biggest issue with the NET's is that they are very detailed and need a lot of money to be able to get all of the students in every school to have access to that kind of technology. I think that the NET's need to be reworked a little bit in order for all schools to be able to meet them with their limited technology.

One of the benefits of integrating technology into the classroom and NET's is that students are able to be more creative. Students can take their content and present it in a variety of ways that would allow students to expressive themselves and their knowledge. By using these different techniques students are not limited to traditional assessment methods that some students struggle with. It also allows for teachers to be creative with their instruction in order to reach the students better. I personally try to incorporate technology into my teaching because I know that students get bored if you do the same thing everyday so I like to use technology to keep my students interested in my class engaged in the lesson.
