 * Class Assignments:**

A classroom situation in which technology helped me learn was in my COSC 211 class. In this class we used the computer for a lot of our assignments. It was very nice to have technology support in the classroom making the experience better. It wasn’t a hassle trying to keep up with taking notes because by using the computer I was able to have everything I needed right I front of me. This was very useful because it allowed me to get more familiar with using the computer to help better me in and outside the classroom.

My experience with technology integration has been wonderful. Technology integration allows students from all over to be able to, not only, learn how to use computers, but use the different software and the applications that go along with it. I do see teachers and schools reaching for these higher levels. Having computers within your classroom allows each and every student to interact with other students and become more involved with what’s going on in the classroom. It also helps each student learn at the pace of their own speed, instead of trying to keep up with everyone else. Being a Computer Information Systems major at Towson University, I have used a computer almost every day and it has given me a more hands-on experience, which is something that everyone needs to have. Having a hands-on experience gives you the opportunity to get a better grasp of what is being taught, instead of having a teacher stand in front lecturing for hours at a time.   As a future educator, I definitely intend to use Web 2.0 tools within my classroom. Web 2.0 tools make the classroom an easier environment to communicate with classmates and instructors. Technology within 5-10 years technology in classrooms may become mandatory. With technology taking over the world, educators may feel that every student will need to know how to use it. Now that teachers are starting to integrate technology in their lesson plans, it will only grow further and further into every classroom.   ** Journal #4 ** 2 copyright and fair use issues that I am familiar with · Always credit the source of your information · When you plan to distribute the project beyond the scope of the guidelines, you should get permission 2 copyright and fair use issues that is new to me  · For motion media you can use up to 10% or 3 minutes.

 * Journal #3** A Web 2.0 tool that I use in my everyday life is the Wiki site we use for our class. The Wiki site we use I class has made my life more efficient I many ways. Using Wiki allows me to have everything online which saves time from printing out each and every page I would need in this class. Also, it allows me to share, not only, my information, but I can also view my classmate’s information; This helps us work in groups and work on what projects that do not involve us coming to class.
