Blog #6

Like I said in blog #5 I really liked chapter six for its information on technology and curriculum integration. I especially learned a lot from the paragraph on page 343 under changing Instructional Strategies. In this paragraph the book says that teachers are changing from being the 'dispenser of knowledge' to the 'facilitators of learning'. I think that is the perfect way to put it. It is true, students can get information from anywhere, but teachers now motivate students to learn and show them the best way they can.
I continue to learn new things with powerpoint. the more I use it the more familiar I am with it and the easier it is to do it. I use to think making a powerpoint presentation was hard and tedious, now I kind of enjoy it.
Chapter six is probably the most interesting chapter so far. I did not expect to actually want to keep reading.
