There are endless ways to use technology in classroom lessons, it can simply be allowing students time to work on the computers and create PowerPoint's or other types of projects, it can involve using the SmartBoard during a lesson, technology can be used by students making podcasts, videos, or blogs. Technology can be easily used by showing a video or playing music. The best way to use technology in the classroom though, is to allow the students to work with it hands on.
The difference between technology being integrated into other subjects and technology education is that if technology is being integrated, then it is not the main thing they are learning, the technology is just a tool so that they can learn more about he subject at hand. But technology education is when students learn specifically how to use technology and they learn the skills of how to work and manage technology correctly.
Some lessons that can be used with technology:
-If the unit is on poetry, technology can be used by creating a video, the students can read the poem as the video shows pictures and the words.
-If the subject is math, the class can play a math game together using the SmartBoard. It can be competitive as well as fun.
-A simple way to integrate technology is by allowing students to share their work with their classmates by having them come forward and use the document camera to project their work on the screen.
