Using technology in the classroom chapters1-3

       This chapter started by introducing its reader to the world of technology, and it explain importance of

knowing how to use technology easily. This chapter spoke about the changing society we are living in today

and how everything around us is become more technology friendly. We sometime may hear people saying that

they do not like to use computer or it is too complicated; but this chapter helps such ones to understand that 

modern computers and other technology are becoming more user friendly and it’s becoming easier to operate

. We learn in this chapter that it’s imperative to let the younger ones learn to use technology because in the 

future we will have to use computers for everything. Computers will be the most used tools in the work place. 

We learn in this chapter different information about the computer and about different terms and meaning. It 

gives someone who has never known anything about the computer a good understand about how to operate 

it. I think it also make its information interesting so one who has never interfere with the computer will be 

motivated to go and try it out. This chapter really opens my eyes as to see how important it is to learn about 

computer and later on teach it to my students so they will be able to use it effectively in their lives. 
       

Chapter two went into more explaining certain concept-mapping tools and the most common productivity applications. These are some of the tools most are familiar with because they are commonly used in schools and work places. The chapter spoke about their importance and gives instruction on how we can use them. The chapter also tells about how it can be of easy use to us and how it can make our everyday work life easier. This chapter gives common computer vocabulary that we may or may not be familiar with and list their meanings. I think after reading this chapter I feel more confident to try and play around with these tools and see how much more I can learn. We learn from reading this chapter how these tools and software work.

              Finally, chapter three; Chapter three is my favorite chapter among the others. I like this chapter because it explains what I have been trying to figure out for years. How does the internet work?  Many may or may not have think about this question in the pass. We sometimes are just use to it working when we are ready to and never sit to take the time to think about how is this even possible. This chapter breaks down the way the internet works and how it is possible for use to use social websites, email, chats etc. The internet wiring system is very complex in its forming and its amazing that this form can be of such help to use in today society. The chapter emphasizes the need to be careful when using the internet because information share over the net is not always private and can sometimes is view by a third party. After reading this chapter I definitely got to understand the world wide web more and is eager to learn more about technology.
