Week 12 Assignment 2

After reading the articles and related resources, I learned that technology has become an important component in teaching. As a teacher, it is highly necessary to learn and adopt various technologies into classes. This not only allows teachers to instruct in a more effective way but also equip students modern technologies that are helpful for their life-long learning. In my own literacy instruction, I would like to integrate YouTube, SMILE and Google Docs to support my instruction. These three tools will help my students enhance their independent and critical thinking.
