My technology in the classroom slideshow

In the Literacy and Technology course that I am currently taking, we were given an assignment to create our own slideshows. Being that this course is about the use of technology in the classroom, I decided to show how the classroom environment has changed since technology has become a major part of students' everyday lives. I feel as though it is very important for teachers to recognize how to use technology in their classrooms. Most schools that I have been in have at least one computer room and most of the classrooms have at least one working computer. However, in many of the classrooms that I have been in, the students know more about computers than the teachers do. Teachers need to understand how to utilize the technology to enhance the learning of their students. Students today need lessons that are thought- provoking, hand- on, and technologically appropriate for the age group of the students. Teachers also need to be aware of how to use the technologies when planning their lessons and looking for resources that may be helpful to both themselves and the students. Here is the link to my slideshow:
