Lesson Planning

After looking in detail at these four Web 2.0 tools and completing a Mathematics lesson plan which incorporates technology, I understand how difficult it may be for me to use technology in my every day classroom. I could see scheduling the computer lab for a WebQuest day or a project to work on with a group; however, finding a way to allow my students regular use of technology may be difficult. I have never attended a school that had multiple computers in the classroom so I never had the opportunity to use these types of tools. However, after completing a lesson plan on polygons using online activities, I see that I can maybe assign homework to be completed using an online tool even if I cannot get computers or a computer lab during class time. I will definitely try to incorporate technology in my future lesson plans such as the one completed in our class because technology is so important to today's students. Also, I can have students work on the non-technological portion of a project or homework in class and complete the rest outside of class on a computer. I now see many ways that technology could be incorporated into my lesson plan even though it might have initial challenges.
