Integrating the Internet and other Distance Resources
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The internet and its related resources (e.g., e-mail, instant messaging, listservs) have become such fixtures of modern life that it is difficult to remember when we didn't rely on them. It makes sense that resources that permeate so many activities in our society should also be integrated into students' learning experiences.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This quote was taken from chapter 10 inM.D Roblyer's book, "Educational Technology in Action." This is the first statement in the chapter and the one I can relate to. I can't remember life before the internet! How would I get my news, chat with friends, plan a vacation, etc. Technology has become such a big part of our daily lives, that most of us wouldn't be able to function without it. As a teacher, technology plays a major part in teaching the curriculum. Using technology is a great way to make learning more interactive and fun for the students.
Following the above statement in the book is a list of benefits that the internet brings to education. What ways can you integrate technology and the internet into your daily curriculum?

I agree with Laquimah. I it is hard to remember what life was like before the internet. I use it almost daily for many purposes whether it be chatting, e-mailing, researching or reading about the news. Technology does play a major role in the curriculum today and will play and even bigger role in the future. It is almost impossible these days to not integrate technology into our curriculum when we depend on it on a daily basis.
