Technology Integration in Lessons


As a student in the College of Education at NAU, I have written and taught many lessons. After learning about all the positive benefits that the integration of technology in the classroom have, I can only imagine of how much better my lessons would have been if they had involved technology in them. Back in November I had taught a first grade class a lesson on the Mayflower. I think it would have been really beneficial if my teacher had a smartboard. I would have used the smartboard to show my students pictures of the gigantic boat. This would give them a visual idea of how large the ship really was. I would try to find a virtual tour of the Mayflower to show them. I think that this would have really engaged the students and allowed them to understand the information better. It would have provided them with a life-like experience that they could relate to and therefore, make the lesson a memorable one for them.
