     Inclusion and Infusion of Technology-
   Schools and classrooms must we use computers as inclusion giving students a chance to work on a particular assignment for a short amount of time. I believe its in Elementary where students have a 30 minute computer class a week to help the student learn how to use and work a computer. As the students go on through their school years the computers become more infusion because students are having to do more papers, want to play games and go more in depth on their assignments.

     One-to-One Laptop Computers-
   I think it's great that the school systems are able to provide more laptops and tablets for each student to have of their own. s or tablets to use in theschools have their own laptops or tablets to use and students are able to bring in their own iPads or tablets to use in the classrooms. Schools are trusting students to use these laptops and some even let them take it home, but what happens if the student loses or breaks the  laptop. Does the student have to pay to replace it? I think the laptop should just stay at the school where they can be monitored.

     Developing a Technology-Learning Mindset-
   Helping others learn to use technology can be interesting, especially when you are trying two teach older people because they are not to tech savvy. My husband started back to school this year after being out for 20 years. I ahc to teach him how to use Microsoft programs. People don't always get what to do on the first try so you have to help them again. You have to have patience because they need time to understand how to use the program; with me that's kind of difficult. I am not a patient person, I just want to do it for them.

     Multimedia Technologies in schools today-
   Students are getting more from multimodal learning then single-mode learning. If students are learning more and are more interested from the multi learning,then teachers should teach like this more often. Teachers want students to be more involved in the activities but not many do so in working with single media. "Students engaged in learning that incorporates multimodal design on average, out perform students who learn using traditional approaches with single modes." I think students should be more involved in what they are learning so they can get a better understanding and what they are doing and how to complete the assignments right.

     Digital Video-
   I think making a class video throughout the school year would be awesome. it can give each student a chance to show off their specialness in what they do. as you get to the end of the school year let the students watched a video then create a blog on what they thought of it or if there was something they would change what would it be. This would give the students a chance to show off their creativity and skills.

     Podcasting as a learning technology-
   Podcasting is an excellent source for students who are audio learners. They can listen to the communication that the teacher and other classmates upload and have a better understanding of what's going on. It's also a great because if a student is out a day or two that can go back and lesson to the instructions on what the class did those days. They can even do some of the work at home so they can try and say cought up with their fellow classmates.
