Wk-12 Assignment #2 Technological Tools/ Technology Intergarted Lesson Plan

Summary: Technological tool

As a student at NYIT, I have learned the importance of integrating technology into my Literacy instruction. Moreover, when I’m creating a lesson plan, I think of what kind of technology I will use in the plan. Additionally, I know that integrating technology into a lesson enhances students learning and increases student engagement. The tools I would like to try in my classroom are, VoiceThread and UDL Bookbuilders.  These tools enhance student learning. I know that new literacy skills are essential for our students current and future success. I’m looking forward to using the technologies I’ve learned about in my future classroom.
