Subject: Technology
I believe that: technology is a tool that can be of great use for all types of instruction, but it is not a necessary one. Instructional time can be used more efficiently and the use of technology allows the educator to enhance the learning experience and gives access to more valuable resources when used appropriately. I believe this because (relate to personal/professional experience): when I was a student, many of my teachers used different forms of technology to deliver their lessons, such as projectors, promethean boards, smart boards, computer, iPad, etc. Using this equipment did not mean losing out on an effective lesson. In high school, we were given MacBooks to use throughout the school year that allowed us to get creative with our projects / assignments when used for academic purposes. Lots of issues/aspects of: technology use for students: For example: more accessible resources, off task students, better use of time, creating a tech savvy generation, And useful tools for creative work. I'd like to talk about: the use of online applications for teaching lessons. Explain your example: Some of the classes that I have subbed for had me teach full lessons that were on the student’s iPads. For tech savvy educators, this is no problem as long as the students are also knowledgeable on the use of the device. If either the teacher or a student is having technological difficulties, this can interfere with the lesson and ultimately waste time. In my experience, teaching lessons on the iPad is very convenient because the lessons hit all of the steps in teaching an effective lesson and not having to rely on many other resources.

The section requires a bit of editing. I know you are limited based on experience but I would try and dive deeper into your example of a specific subbing situation where the lessons was enhanced with the technology. What happened, what did you do, what evidence of student engagement and learning were you able to ascertain?
