This essay will discuss my overall technology plan and explain how I believe it will increase the productivity and effectiveness of teachers and students. In today's society, technology is very important for the future and it is changing the way our students learn in the classroom. If we use technology correctly and safely, all of us, students and teachers, can experience all the benefits the Internet has to offer. Technology offers us so many things that we can use in our classroom to improve the way we teach our students. The most commonly available technologies are computers and the Internet. In recent years, smartphones and tablets have been introduced into the school system. In today's classrooms, you will find smart boards or interactive boards, which allow teachers to use programs and share certain things with the whole class. These types of technologies will help teachers do more group activities, while keeping students interested, so students can learn more and progress in their education. In my class, one of the most important topics we need to discuss is internet safety. Student safety is so important that before we do anything else in my classroom, we will do lessons and projects on Internet safety and computer do's and don'ts . There are so many bad guys and pedophiles online that students can easily take advantage of them without even knowing it. Teachers and parents need to be aware of the many dangers that exist and take steps to make students aware of them as well. There are several software programs that can be helpful in keeping students safe online. One of them is spyware, which is useful for monitoring what is happening with each student... in the middle of a sheet of paper...... it is safe, entertaining and hopefully the, eager to learn. Having all of this technology will help me achieve all of my goals for my classroom. With all the school training in computer programs and guidelines, I plan to use all the knowledge I gain to my advantage and help my students the best way I know how. Many schools in North Carolina have low income schools, I desire to work at one of these schools. My goal and desire would be to find grants, funding, or even programs that would help provide the technology we would need to improve our students. I think if students see us working with the community and other organizations, it can help them learn how to function in society, and even if they don't achieve all the goals I set for myself, I want at least they are able to express themselves and remember the dangers that exist on the Internet.
