By using the latest and most age appropriate technology available, my students will leave my class with the confidence of being able to successfully use and employ each technology tool. Vision statement: I will teach my students what they will need in order to be successful in years to come, giving them a since of knowledge that they can productively improve the community they live in by using good communication, and technology skills. Section 2: Communications Plan The development of a plan to integrate technology into the learning environment in a classroom is a process that needs careful research and planning (Vanderlinde& Van, 2013). As a new educator I do feel confident that if set up for success this is possible. When it comes to communication it very important that teachers use technology as a tool to enable communication to take place easier and faster, with their students and parents. Being a teacher I find it necessary to allow all types of communication to be possible. When doing so it is proven that the parent and family involvement leads to better academic achievement (Kervin, Verenikina, Jones, & Beath, 2013). As a teacher I am a strong believer that communication from parent to teacher is a must for students be become stronger learners. Being a new teacher I need the help from parents...

...Instructional Technology Technology integration is the combination of all technology parts, such as hardware and software, together with each subject related area of curriculum to enhance learning. ( Shelly,B.G, Gunter,A.G, Gunter, E. R., 2012) In the 21st century, technology is making a great impact on our educational system. It challenges our students to think outside the box and at the same time improve on reading, researching, problem solving, communications and critical thinking skills which are imperative to the success of the student’s future. That is why in my opinion, it is imperative that we integrate technology in the classrooms successfully. There are so many different technologies that can be used for many different things in the classroom to help enhance the learning experience such as smart boards, digital media, computers, dvd’s , tutorials, apps, and the web just to name a few. However, to integrate these tools into the curriculum successfully, so that the students can get the best experience possible, I need to be properly trained. “There is growing interest in the integration of technology into the classroom. A range of initiatives have been launched to develop in service teacher training process that will strengthen this integration.” (Guzman,A.; Nussbaum, M. 2009) “Billions of dollars have been spent to bring computer technology into k-16 classrooms, since 1999, congress has devoted over $275 million to the Preparing Tomorrow’s Teachers to use Technology program...

...vision is to use a variety of technologies in my classroom to implement new teaching strategies that will provide access to information that will engage my students in the learning process and enrich their learning experience. Technologies used in my classroom will influence students learning process, build critical thinking skills, and creativity and literacy skills while meeting the curriculum standards and benchmarks.

Training and hands on experience with technology will assist with the integration of technology into my classroom and will be used to support and enhance teaching strategies already in place.

...Merriam-Webster dictionary is: The quality and state being of literate, able to read and write. In the 19th century, anyone who could sign his or her name was considered literate; now, educators define literacy as the ability to read and write at a ninth grade level (Mayshark, 1994). Experts are now expanding their notion of what literacy is and how we need to include technology use, parental involvement, and economics. Without technology children will fall behind in today’s world, parental involvement means to have the parent there in the moment to help their children understand and succeed, and economics is what today is all about and how our children will succeed in life with good paying jobs to take care of their families. Without these three factors children in the 21st century will not succeed effectively in school or out. In today’s technology, school teachers now have to be educated to keep up with the knowledge and techniques of the 21st century. Teachers need to be well developed in computer technology to help with succeeding in writing and reading literacy. The value of educational time spent on using technology to support students' literacy development rests on its ability to promote higher level thinking, collaboration, constructivism, speed and information evaluation ( Asselin, M. 2001). With the teaching of technology and literacy improving because of the use of cell phones, ipads, iphones, lap tops, etc., one can tell how different classes in school, compared...
