While it would be great to integrate technology into the classroom using the constructive approach, many teachers have so many other requirements that technology falls very low on their list of things to when making lesson plans.
I have observed a teacher using a PDA in his record keeping and was amazed at how much more efficient he was as a result. Free or low-cost training should be accessible to teachers on the how we as teachers can use technology to provide our students with authentic learning experiences.

found the powerpoint assignment to be more of a challenge than I thought it would be. While I knew a little about powerpoint, I did not think of it as an effective learning tool that could be used in the classroom, rather as a tool that are used at conferences. After reading about and working with powerpoint my mind quickly started to overflow with ideas on how to use what I've learned in the future as a literacy coach or even in the classroom. Using the features that I was introduced to during this assignment I will be able to create presentations that are more interesting and interactive. I'll also be able to help students create powerpoints that show true understanding of a concept.
