Integrating technology into lessons must serve a purpose aside from the fact that it is simply entertaining for students. While that is not a bad thing, we must make sure the focus is on the fact that the content being presented is meaningful and easily understood. As there are many different learning theories and styles it is important to remember that technology affords us the opportunity to present material in a number of ways all at one time. This allows all types of learners to benefit from technology and therefore acquire higher levels of success. One method I particularly found useful through the study of the book, Using Technology with Classroom Instruction that Works, is the use of spreadsheets to record student work. This allows students not only to do their work on a spread sheet but to be able to accurately track their progress as well. This feedback is very useful and motivational for students today. In addition to this students can use concept mapping to organize their thoughts and to review valuable information. Teachers can also use virtual field trips to help immerse students so to speak into their lessons (Orey, 2009). This helps students become engaged in the information and in turn make network connections in the brain to remember material more efficiently.
