technology in the classroom

I like the idea of having a classroom website. The most important part to having a website is the student page. If a student misses something from class they can look on the website to find it. For example, if they need to re look at what the homework is suppose to be, a syllabus can be provided for them. It can also have links to activities that would be good reinforcements to the material that was covered in class. Also, the link can have rubrics on them so the student knows exactly what needs to be done on assignments.

I do think teachers should integrate technology into their instruction. The students are eventually going to have to learn the technology in everyday life, so it would not hurt to start during class time. However, the teachers should not hold the students responsible to getting the latest technology. Some students would not be able to afford it and it could be difficult to buy.
