Technology as the future of education

As a future teacher, I need to know all of the important things that happen in a classroom. One of these things that I need to know are the types of technology that my classroom has for my use and for my students. I know that technology is changing and many schools today are using more technology in the classrooms. From my field experiences during my senior year in high school and my freshman year in college, I have seen and worked with many different types of technology in the classroom. The piece of technology that I have used the most in a teaching setting is the overhead. This piece of technology may be old compared to the newer types of technology that are used in classrooms today, but it still works perfectly to display overhead pages for the students to see and the students and teacher can interact with it be writing directly on it. I have also used computers in teaching lessons and students can use them also for school work. I have never used advanced teaching technology like Smartboards but I have seen them being used by other teachers and I feel that this new technology is the future of teaching.
