2. Technology Integration
 Technology is becoming an enormous part of our everyday
lives. In order to use technology in an educational way, it is
a must in the current day for teachers to incorporate
technology in the classroom. For my topic on health
awareness, many sources of technology can be
incorporated into the lesson, a few being: watching and
recording videos, interactive websites, blogs, and using
iPads and computers for research projects. Students can
use these tools to interact with and connect to the media.
Technology can be included in any topic, and these are just
a few examples.
