It is very important to integrate technology into the classroom but it must the students must be held accountable. In today's world the kids are bored with the traditional way of learning. Technology is one way to motivate the students to learn. Not only do they motivate them but the sites and programs are geared to their level. Some of the sites I found are great. One site  is manga high. I have the students use it as a center and they love it. I can look at the medals they earned and we have a celebration every Friday. One of my kids came up to me today and thought is was Friday. He  was so upset that is was one because he won his first gold and could not wait to get his prize. I plan to use other ones such as, study ladder and ten marks. They are based on more subjects than just math and have ways to look at the students working on them. As a reference, I like the site Khanacademy.com. The students can go the this website to get a special tutor for a concept. Another fun one, is Brainpop. The students love watching these and they are educational. I can not wait to get started !!!
