I hope to learn as much as possible about different technologies that I can use in the classroom.  I believe that it is essential for all teachers to incorporate some form of technology into their lessons reguardless of their content area.  Technology is not only engaging, but it will prepare students for their future careers where they will have to use more than a pen and paper to complete their tasks.  From this class I am looking forward to learning all the different teaching softwares their are.  I also want to learn more about the SmartBoard because I have noticed they are becomming increasingly more prevelant in the schools I have been in recently.  I will be of more value to future students if I am competent in different forms of technology.  This is a very important class and I am looking forward to being exposed to new technology.
