Digital Blog Post Chapter 12

Chapter 12 teaches about Integrating Technology and Creating Change as Teacher Leaders.  While integrating technology into schools is essential, it is not without its obstacles. Different school districts have different resources and budgets that can affect the availability of technology, particularly computers or updated software.  It is important for teachers to learn how to  put the available resources in their classrooms to the best use.  Integrating technology is a learning process for all teachers, even experienced teachers need to keep constantly updated on the changing times.  Some of the schools in our area now provide tablets for the students to take home, which attempts to level the playing field as far as accessibility.  While this puts a digital devise in every students hand, it does not eliminate the issues of economic standing as some lower income households do not have proper internet, let alone wireless routers. I feel that it is important to set a side time for particular students for internet access and on line assignment, whether it be after school, lunch or designated lab time.
