Today’s reading really opened my eyes to some possibilities of using technology in the classroom. I enjoy this class, but I find myself often times being very skeptical about some of the stuff we learn about and I am not sure I neccesarily believe in using so much technology in the classrooms. Don’t get me wrong I think we need to use and teach technology in our schools, but I am not sure exactly how I feel about how much to use. I liked this reading because it helped me to understand some of the real positives of using technology in the classrooms. We have been learning about Wikis and how to use them, but it wasn’t until in the reading they used an example of having the class use the wiki to create a virtual textbook. I really liked this idea because it not only has the kids use technology but I think it will be more fun for them, and it is great to have kids create something like that because they have the ability to put things into their own words and they can feel good about the work they have done.
As a future teacher, I am almost positive I will use this example in my own classrooms. I also feel that it would maybe be fun to have your students create this virtual textbook and use it to teach another grade or classroom what they have learned. After this reading I finally feel like I truly believe there is some good of using technology in the classrooms.
