In Chapter 6, we learn the reasons why technology is so important to our careers. This chapter is all about how to incorporate technology into our curriculum. An important part of this chapter talks about technology integration. This is the combination of all technology parts, such as hardware and software, together with each subject-related area of curriculum to enhance learning. The chapter also talks about how there is a difference between a computer lab and using software in the classroom. It is more beneficial when teaching to have software in the classroom, but its also good for students to get a chance to work with computers.

Since last weeks class, i have learned more bout microsoft word. This is important because next to xp and the internet, i use microsoft word a lot. It is important to understand this stuff because you mainly uses microsoft programs when teaching. I also found it interesting how it talked about incorporating teaching and technology. This was important because for the past six chapters we have only been learning about how a computer works and its different parts, this stuff is boring to me. How you can actually use it is what i find interesting.

This past weekend I went to Jax. for the football game and it was a lot of fun. The weekend was crazy, especially since we won and the gators lost. I'm also happy that I got a chance to see my friends that go to UNF. To make things even crazier there was 8 girls in one hotel room. We deff. looked like a bunch of broke college kids crammed in there. I'm excited to see my parents this weekend. My brother just got a puppy that my parents don't know about so im excited to see their reaction to this surprise. Needless to say this will be an exciting weekend also.
