The article "How Teachers are Integrating Tech Common Core," written by Fred Sitkins is excitingly promoting the use of technology in the new Common Core State Standards (CCSS). The author is very excited about the switch because using technology in classrooms is going to help children learn on a deeper level. Starting in first grade, students will be posting their writing and other works on the internet for other children to see and to learn from. Teaching with technology will also allow more opportunities to allow students to be engaged in learning as well as allow students to teach other students via the internet.
This article makes me excited to be able to teach students technology. There are many apps on the iPad that will allow me to integrate my lesson plans. I think using technology and iPads are exciting to use in general, and when students are learning by using computers and iPads, I feel like they are going to have more fun and are going to actually learn things. I just worry that some school budgets are not going to be able to afford to have these technological innovations, and in the long run their students will suffer because of it.
