How I plan on integrating technology into my teaching: I plan to utilize technology in my teaching as tools for experience, research, expression and creativity in learning and communication. My goal is to enhance teacher and student capabilities and achieve a level of expertise by both demonstrating the values and individual capabilities one can achieve to utilize and view technology as a valuable asset and not a burden. Through the use of technology I hope to provide students and teachers an understanding of new media formats that assists in the teaching of expression and rhetoric and offers opportunities for authentic applications of educational concepts.
