Oh..... the Technology

So here's the thing, technology is one of those fascinating tools that keeps us updated with so many different idea's, ways of learning, news, media, you can go on and on. We all know that.....right? How does technology apply to my learning and how will I apply it to my classroom when I start teaching?
Technology is one of the keys in obtaining knowledge these days. Many of us in the United States as well as around the world use technology daily. It has become such a part of our everyday life that a number of different companies have now made technology available through cell phones, ipods, and blackberries just to name a few. If you are one of the hundreds of thousands of individuals with this type of technology you can receive e-mails and surf the web right from your cell phone. There are a number of different types of web browsers that can help us to obtain information within seconds. For example if you use the google browsre and type in let's say "US Presidents" it will give you a number of different websites that you can choose from. For example listed below are some links/websites that I came up when US Presidents was googled.

http://www.whitehouse.gov

Classrooms from K-12 as well as colleges and universities are expanding in technology every year. Since I have a special interest in teaching children I googled "technology in the classroom for kindergarten" and a number of different sites came up. I decided to go with this website:

www.polson.k12.mt.us/cherry/teachers/crosby/crosby.site/kindtech/kindtech.html

There are four different links that you can click on and I went with: "Internet Resources for the Kindergarten Classroom" once I clicked on this link it came up with a number of different idea's that a kindergarten teacher could use in his or her classroom. It never ends to amaze me of the way that technology is advancing. My feelings on technology is that is it just going to keep on growing. It's a never ending cycle that will always be advancing and developing new as well as different ways of learning, entertaining and exploring.
