2. The benefits of technology in the classroom are that the kids will be engaged and want to participate and it can be easier for the teacher.

4. Something that we would like to work on would to be more familiar with programs on the computer such as spreadsheet, graphs, and finding articles for assignments.

5. Some goals would be:

Technology is a very useful tool and should absolutely be used in a classroom setting. It is helpful and sufficient and beneficial. It could be a distraction if used in the wrong way or not monitored closely. Students love technology and find it exciting. It is also easier for everyone to track grades and assignments. I imagine it helps kids get their assignments in on time.
