technology in the classroom

Hello Jodi Shiere and everybody,

Happy to be with you in this wonderful course. I would like to share some thoughts with you. I would love to tell you that I am really fond of using technology in class and in training. I consider using technology one of the best techniques that a teacher should use. It attracts, students to learning through fun. It helps a lot in facilitating the learning process. There is one aspect or concern that I am really concerned about is the lack of equipments, the training on using technology, the availability of power especially in rural areas, the big number of students, the knowledge of using computers and other technology withing the net, and finally some teacher lose the interest of using technology. Some of you may say so why we are in such course. We are here to spread the idea of the use of technology in the classroom. I am asking you to help me and others by giving my your opinions and your creative ways in using technology. Will technology work despite all the mentioned points? Thank you for your time. I do believe in the following quote by Mr. Marjan Glavac I believe that you heard of him.  " Talk to each other, support each other, take care of each other."
Waiting for your reply!
