Using technology in the classroom to help teach!

Technology should be used in the classroom in various ways.  In my classroom I want to incorporate technology into my class by using powperpoint, itunes, smartboards and projectors.  All these tools I can use are essential for a positive learning environment.  As a teacher I need to know about current technology and need to keep up with the new advancements.  Eventually, I would like to learn more about ipads and other touch screen devices.  In my classroom learning with technology will be a vital aspect of my class.  This class has increased my knowledge of technology and has prepared me to become a better teacher.  I know now how to create teacher web pages, curriculum pages, scavenger hunts, and webquests.  All of these features will aid me as a teacher in the future.
