How can you effectively integrate technology into your teaching and learning?

Integrating technology into the classroom is so much easier then I thought. I believe the reason for this was due to my lack of knowledge for effective technologies. For example, iPods and other mp3 players can be very effective for learning. Podcasts, digital storytelling, and ebooks are some of the things that can be used also. Many of these technologies can be used to differentiate your classroom and reach student’s multiple intelligences. Again, the group activity allowed me to understand these technologies, and the presentations were very informative. For the items I already knew about, iPods and Photoshop, I didn’t know what you could do with them in an actual lesson. The other technologies I had never heard about before.
