   1. What is technology?

Technology is the knowledge and use of tools and devices to make life easy.

3. How do you promote technology in your class?
I Promote technology in class by using projectors, DVD/CD players, computer and have students using them in their learning experiences.  I use the Lexia Reading Software generally for reading instruction and learning.  I also use the Unit of Sounds

4. How would your students feel if you use technology in the classroom?
I do use technology and the students are excited.  They don’t even want to eat lunch.  They are excited because they are using in the classroom what they have been using at home or at their friends'.

5.  How does technology promote learning?
Technology promotes learning because it is the "thing" of the day, it encourages interaction and mustisensory teaching and learning
