What do I want out of my Tech Course

As we see a world that becomes more dependent on the use of technology it become important for a teacher to integrate these skills into their curriculum and classroom. I am hoping that this course gives new ideas and tools that will contribute to my knowledge and teaching. Often time teachers shy away from the technology, even deeming it inappropriate for students to use (web profile pages, cell phone, etc.). I believe we can use it to our advantage and my hope is that this class updates me on these trends and ideas.
