I am completing my Masters at SUNY Albany in Curriculum Development and Instructional Technology and integrating blogs and Instant Messaging, Wikis and Chats have all been features of one specific course I am currently taking. I used to see these elements as being centered around my life, my education and my social activities and it is only once I began learning about their practical uses in the classroom did I realize the tremendous benefits they have in our classrooms. I think technology should be integrated into classrooms on all levels, from elementary through university schooling and it is only once we educate our students how to effectively use this technology in our classrooms that they can be successful technology consumers in their own lives.
