      Technology Integration Stages and Issues.

Integration in Technology is a very important factor in today's 21st century learners. As teachers we have to commit our selves to learn the right use of technology. It is kind of hard for us teachers to be, when we as students can't afford to access this kind of technology. If we really want to be successful as teachers we first need to be successful in technology. At my place of work we just started using mobymax.com and the teacher that I assist was very exited today when she was sharing with me that this website was very good because she didn't need to calculate grades because mobymax.com calculate the grades for each student.Our students are practicing vocabulary on mobymax.com. I think that everything has to be with the teacher willingness to navigate and learn how to achieve all these different kinds of websites available for us to better teach our 21st century learners.Transforming Learning with new Technologies mentions, "A technology-using educator can defined as someone who:

makes informed choices                            

Explores technology

Promotes changes (299)

Making informed choices means that we as teacher need to the best website to help our students to be engage with the daily lesson with out making the class boring or confusing.
Explores technology means that it is well define that we can use technology with our students to write about any issues to critic or to analyse for example politics in our economic class.
Promote changes, I really liked how Transforming learning with new Technology defines it, "promotes change at the classroom ,school building, and system levels. Rather that "change for change's sake," change should be intended to make it possible for every student to reach her or his full learning potential."(299). I had this experience in one of my classes that I assist . The teacher made a change for technology, just for "change's sake"! the change didn't work because he didn't put his effort to fulfill his and the students needs. He didn't under stand how we suppose to play the game and what the lesson was in the game.so he didn't have no choice but to stop the activity and learned by himself the website till he completely engage with the activity so he could explain the students how and what they were learning with that game.
I really enjoined reading about tracking Technology Trends. As a teacher to be I know I need to keep on going navigating the web with new website and programs that we have every year. I just wish I could have more time to navigate all these web pages to learn more about new technologies for teachers and student and in general for all human beings.
