Hello!

This is my first blog for TPTE 486! The purpose of this blog is to document the learning process over the course of the semester of integrating technology in the elementary classroom. I will be exploring technologies that will hopefully benefit students and the teacher. For each technology I use, I will either recommend it or state the troubles I had in creating the project. Some programs will probably be more difficult to learn, while other will be fairly simple. Technology is a great way to reach all types of learners, such as kinesthetic, visual, and verbal. The trick is learning how to use all the wonderful sources that are out there. Hopefully this blog can inspire teachers to try new things in their classroom, and warn them about other technologies that are not worth while. Throughout this semester, please feel free to comment on any posts to add ideas or to ask questions. Let the technology adventure begin!
