What are some ways you can tell that you have successfully integrated technology into your lesson?
What do you feel technology should accomplish in order to be a legitimate addition to your lesson?
What indicators can tell you whether or not you have chosen an appropriate technology for your lesson?

All of these questions have to do with obtaining the objectives. You can tell if your use of technology was successful by going through the objectives and making sure that although you are trying to make it fun and exciting, you need to make sure that you are hitting all of the requirements or the curriculum. I am there to teach. I am there to change these kids lives for the better. So it is my responsibility to teach them in ways they can understand and keep their attention. Technology is a good aid. Technology is like a portal to the unknown. It's new and exciting and kids like that. So a good indicator of whether or not the technology used was appropriate or effective, or not, is if the technology increased their knowledge and helped the children understand what's going on in the classroom.
