Everything discussed today reinforced everything that I read in chapter two. The group presentation done by Kellie, Paige, and Courtney allowed me to reflectively think about the enthusiasts argument. The video really tied everything together very well. Also, the quotes they used were very informative and touched upon the most conversational topics. My opinion about integrating technology into our classrooms continuously goes back and forth. I agree with all the comments that were made about mantaining a balance of implementing the traditional approach to teaching and integrating technology into our classrooms.
Also, I enjoyed practicing to write on the active board. I have never used a digital whiteboard or any other type of technology to use in the classroom. In addition, the homework assignment about how to find if a website is credible or not was a little difficult for me. When Jeff explained the triangulation, which means to check the information you found on one website with a few other resources to validate the information is accurate was valuable to me. During the assignment I struggled to figure out how to determine the credibility of a website, so the triangulation will be beneficial to me when I am teaching young children how to explore the internet.
