Chapter 8

I was really interested to read all the different kinds of technological tools you can use in the classroom to enhance learning. I always am aprehensive to use technology because I feel that I do not have such a good grasp on how to use the technology properly myself. I do not consider myself internet savvy and I do not know how to really take full advantage of all the software programs I have in my computer and in class. How can I improve my own technological skills and still engage my students effectively using technology? Does the school provide their own programs for usage and if not, how can you know what would be appropriate to use and for what age group it would be appropriate for?
