"Generation IM" Reflection

This article was very interesting. The beginning of it I have heard/read about in many other articles. It talked about how children are so "techy" in today's time and that teachers need to adjust to this for their students. It was interesting how one teacher was awarded for her great incorporation of technology and although she was happy to receive this award, she did express how exhausting and demanding it really was for her. There is so much to learn and you cannot expect teachers to be able to just automatically learn everything in a day. Especially when they did not grow up with this kind of technology.

At the end of the article I really like the 7 steps/ways to include technology in the classroom. A few of this ways I had already thought of, however, they were all very helpful and great ideas for a teacher to use in his/her classroom.
