I learned a lot based off reading the articles I read (since videos and surveys wouldn't open). I learned that students really do perform better with technology. For me, technology sometimes is more trouble than it's worth and I get more frustration out of it and don't learn as much, but students that I will be teaching are a little more tech saavy and really like technology.
I learned there are plenty of ways to integrate technology in the classroom. You can create webquests, class websites, class acts, use polls and social networks, etc. I also learned it doesn't have to be fancy technology for students to enjoy it. Creating assignments where they can explore or solve real world problems is really what students are looking for.
The concern I have is when is there too much technology in the classroom? Some students are not tech saavy and they may feel a bit out of place in a highly technical classroom. I also worry about distractions in the classroom that come from the technology that is provided.
