Article

In the article "How Teachers Integrate Technology and Their Beliefs about Learning:Is There a Connection?" Eugene Judson explains how the way a teacher teaches can be affected by weather they incorporate technology into their classroom or not. If a teacher does not see why technology should be included then they tend to teach more conservative where if a teacher were to teach with technology and agree with it they tend to be more constructive teachers. however much of this research is self submitted so the data is less accurate than observation data would be. In today's teaching administrators prefer teacher to teach with student input and the more teachers teacher constructively the more open to this concept they will be. We need students to be able to work with and use computers in their everyday life. their for we need teachers who are able and willing to incorporate technology into the classroom. With inclusion of technology we bring inclusion in society.
I chose this article because i was curious if technology changed the way teachers taught other than their material and curriculum. I have concluded from this article that technology has an effect on the way you think. Even though I may not realize this because i was raised with technology in my life. Using a computer when you are younger makes the way you think start to change you do not always think conservative but tend to question things and why they are. this is a good thing in this society and younger students need to be able to start utilizing the computers at a younger age.
