This weeks content researching a variety of videos that incorporate media and technology in the classroom and instruction relates to my daily practice in several ways. It was refreshing to spend time researching videos, which allowed me an opportunity to "borrow:" some best-practice ideas to incorporate into my daily instruction. Additionally, I witnessed several creative and innovative strategies for promoting student engagement. The use of individual "one-to-one" devices for each student in the classroom makes it more affordable and space saving versus the purchase of desktop computers or laptops. The use of iPads, especially for younger students, and students with special needs, make them for versatile and user-friendly. The use of iPads promote student engagement and allows them to take virtual field trips, and "real life" experiences. Although, while exploring a few of the List of Web 2.0 sites, I was initially quick to judge various places as being ones that only can be used by my student's typical peers. However, I was proven wrong; as I could easily use several of the sites; such as; Animate, Explain Everything, Prezi, Glogster., and others. Some key elements that must be included in my classroom to prepare my students and colleagues for the future are my knowledge and ability to use various technology devices, applications, software, etc. Lastly, my enthusiasm and motivation will play a role in the engagement and motivation of colleagues, and students along with their parents.

I also noticed in the videos that I watched that many classrooms had different types of devices that students were using (laptops, i pads, phones) and it was neat to see them using the devices in different ways. Being able to differentiate learning for students depending on their needs is supported so much with technology.
