====I enjoyed the video “How Differentiated Instruction and Formative Assessment Work at Forest Lake Elementary” because it showed how technology is used in the modern day classroom. When I was in highschool it was one of the first years classes would use “clickers” for test taking and now, as the video shows, they are being used on a more regular basis. Also, student can take standardized test online in order for teachers to easily assess their individual levels. I learned that technology is being used in almost every school, in every grade level for a number of different reasons. Not only does technology make it easier and more enjoyable to take tests/assessments for the students, but it also makes grading, attendance and everyday things easier for the teacher.==== ====Technology has become crucial in the world as we know it today and has proven to be equally important in the classroom. As stated above, technology makes it easier to take tests, grade, and simply teach via PowerPoint’s or Internet. In my opinion, technology is a wonderful way to be an effective teacher whether it be through in class demonstrations or simply emailing your students. When I am a teacher I plan in integrate technology on a daily basis with PowerPoint’s, test taking, or even posting videos on YouTube for my students to watch and learn from. I want to make myself readily available, so I plan to communicate via email while I am away from class with my students.====
