Integrating Successfully

I chose this article because I am interested in how to integrate technology into the classroom. I know that more technology is needed but I want to know how to bring it in and make it a part of the classroom. I am also interested in the SMART Board and so this article caught my interest. It sounds as if they are extremely successful in schools- not only for students but for teachers as well. It appears that students and teachers are more excited about school and look forward to the school day. It was also a way for teachers to connect with each other on a technological level, helping each other and teaching one another new things. Even the parents had a positive reaction to the SMART Boards and saw that it had a positive affect on their children. Reading this article makes me want to learn more about the SMART Board and learn how it can be affective in the classroom.
