I think that things are going pretty well. I was extremely glad to get that iMovie out of the way, because these next projects seem a littler easier and more relaxed. I feel that there is always a lot of work for this class and I sometimes find myself very overwhelmed with all the work assigned, but with that said I have learned a lot about technology and how I may use it in my classroom in the future. I think that technology in early education is key. Technology is a major part of our society today and it is a means of communication and obviously much more. I think it is important for children to learn things that are used within our society often, at a young age. There are many different things you can do with technology in the classroom, and it gives children another tool to use rather than a pencil and paper. I also think technology can make learning more fun for some students if not all. The most important lesson/concept I have learned so far is the safety involved with technology for students. It is important to teach students how to use each technology tool and to teach them safety precautions. (For example: what is good information to give out on the internet and what not to give out and do).
