Harness Your Student's Digital Smarts

The video "Harness Your Student's Digital Smarts" is a great example of new age classroom learning. It did a great job of pointing out that, as teachers, we will not always be the all knowing mentor in the classroom surrounded in digital learning. It is a new and unique way of helping students learn in different ways then just pen and piece of paper. It encourages new and creative ways of thinking and evolving. The teacher doesn't have to sit and instill terminology rigorously into the students, but help students find answers through digital media. In the process children begin to develop better skills for digital media and are able to help others understand what to look for and share their own findings. In return when discovering new things, students will help their instructors learn more about the growing and changing media provided to us.

I want to try and implement as much technology use as I can in my future classroom. I want to integrate it as much as I can to help my students grow in a technologically accelerated world but maintain their constant progression in learning academic subject matter. 

Also in the process of integrating the technology, making sure to practice superb digital citizenship for students, and helping the, stay focused on educational uses for school settings.
