To be honest I have stayed away from technology in my classroom. I have used some Khan Academy video to introduce new material and my kids have respond well to the activity. I have them answer questions has they watch the video. In general, however, technology scares me because of management. I am intimidated by making sure students stay on task. However. I think that it could be incredibly useful if presented and structured correctly. For example, I always start the day off with vocabulary and instead of giving my kids the definitions I could have my students look up the definitions on their phones. I could also use technology for homework, having students watch a video and answer questions at home that introduce the days material. This way students have some prior knowledge coming into the lesson.
