Reflection On Technology Article
Oh my goodness, the article I read was very sarcastic and held my attention. I chose Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants. Six pages of inspiration to use my toys as tools. I knew that I wanted to teach my students in a different manner, but I didn't really think about technology related games, instruments, etc.. I knew I would use computers, and software's related to Collage Mathematics. There's not a whole lot out there when it comes to collage, but if I take the same idea and tweak it, I think I should be able to grasp my students attention. i liked the fact that Marc Prensky, the author of the article, talk about how we do learn on the terms of the older generation, just because it has not been modified, or the teachers feel comfortable with it. Though the educators of tomorrow are "fluent" in technology, being suppressed to follow the older generation due to lack of motivation of using their "toys".

Although I did not choose the same article as you, I still like the fact that they talk about different ways to present technology to your students and how important it is to have a diversity because students learn in different ways.
