= __Digital Native__ = How do I fit in this area - I am a digital native. I have grown up with technology and it is in my everyday life.

Where my students fit into this area - I think that my student will also be digital natives. There is already a ton of technology and more and more keeps coming out. Students are learning how to use technology at such a young age that is is part of their life.

Activities that are important to use without technology - Technology is not really needed in any class. In PE students are doing physical acitvity. Art, they are designing projects. Shop, they are builiding things. Reading/English, students are readying books or doing assisngments about grammar. Social Studies, students could use maps that are not on the computer. Math, all math can be done with paper and pencil. There are many activities that can be done without technology.

Where will knowing a lot of technology be a downfall? - I think that when it comes to basic things that having technology gets us down. In math for example, most people to do know how to do simple math because they rely on technology to do it for them. In schools or businesses, when technology is down, people do now know what to do. I think that some people would not be able to function without technology because it has become part of their everyday life.

What happens if you are in a school with limited technology? - In my classroom it would be no problem. I will make my students do most of their work without technology so they understand how to do it and not just getting an answer.

What technology do I want part of my classroom? - In my classroom, I would like to have some computers, ipads, and a projector. The computers and ipads would be for downtime so students can play educational games on them, or they could be used to do projects or reports. I would use the projector for my lessons.

= __Future Classroom__ = If you could have your future classroom look and have any type of technology what would it look like and why? - I would like to have some computer's, ipad's, and a projector in my classroom. I would use these to help the students learn math in a different way then me just lecturing. The computer's and ipad's would mostly have games on them.

How do you see technology in education when you graduate? - I think that technology will take over the classroom. We are going to be using technology for everything.

What will it be like if you get a job where technology is little to none? - With being a math teacher, I don't see a big problem. I think math should be done with paper and pencil. Technology is nice for playing educational games, but most math is done without a lot of technology.

How will you prepare yourself for the changing student? - I will try to keep up with them and challenge them anyway I can. I will try to find something for them to do that would maybe challenge them or something they may not have done or not as comfortable with.

How will you prepare yourself for students that have better access to technology at home than at school? - I will challenge them not using technology. People are getting so used to doing math with technology and forget how to do it by themselves, so I think not using technology will be a challenge. Challenging them with technology, I would have them do more online projects and work with a program they are not as familiar with. Sometimes schools have access to things students can't get, so I would make students use them. Also, I would have the technically strong students help others learn the technology.

How will you prepare and address the digital divide both on access and ability? - I will try to stay up to date myself. I will take classes or mess around with the technology to get used to it. I would have the students help each other out. Sometimes a student learns more if they are being taught by someone their own age. I will try to have the newest things I can get for my classroom, so that every student has something to do and challenge themselves.
