Tech Ed


Upon reflection of my own personal experience with technology in education there have been successful learing outcomes for many of my technology classes through the years. I remember my first technology class which was in middle school. The name of the class was introduction to keyboarding. My teachers name was Mrs. Page. I distinctly remember learning home row of the keyboard. A,S,D,F,J,K,L;, incase you were wondering. I don't have to look at the keyboard to type and I have Mrs. Page and Intoduction to keyboarding to thank for my proficient keyboarding skills.
The existence of technology in schools is critical for the evolution of school and class curriculum. Technology should exist in class rooms to help improve the education of the students. Intergration of technology in the classroom is vital for successful students entering the workplace.
