Teaching with Technology Week 2

  This week assignment we were to brainstorm about how to teach technology to a group of diverse students as a group.  I believe we did develop some ideas about how to accomplish this task.
     This weeks readings involved a lot of research about how technology affects student achievement and benefits students in the lower social economical classes.  Technology can help student become engaged in learning and can offer a lot of experiences and knowledge that a student may have otherwise not had the opportunity to experience.   I learned how student in lower social economical areas have a significant achievement growth with the use of computers.  I never really thought about students that are in higher social economical areas looking at technology as a norm versus other groups in lower social economical area valuing the technology because it is not apart of their everyday life.  I believe that technology will continue to help student of all social economical level and abilities grow.  I think it is important to let student have access to technology in the classroom.  The readings this week really confirmed my knowledge that technology is an asset in the classroom.
