One of the most interesting things that I saw in this chapter was the virtual reality technology that teachers can now incorporate into their classrooms. The 3-D modeling is really unique and I think it would be fun for students to use in the classroom. However, this much technology integration into the classroom may not be possible in many schools because of a lack of funding and resources and the size of the classrooms. Schools with very large class sizes would have a harder time using it.
Another change that integrating technology into the classroom makes is changing the teachers role from the "dispenser of knowledge" to the "facilitator of knowledge". This says that putting technology in the classroom will help children take a more active role in their own learning and the teacher doesn't just pour out information in lectures they actually use different ways of instruction.
Learning centers will be great for classrooms especially in the k-5 grades becasue it allows teachers to break their classrooms into many different stations and so the little kids won't get bored because they have many different learning options.
Ultimately more technology in the classroom will provide more ways of learning to fit students different learnign styles, it will also make learning more fun. All teachers should be trained in how to incorporate technology into their classrooms.

Good synopsis of the chapter.
Even though we could've written the same stuff without the help of the chapter.
Good job on summarizing the chapter.
facilitator of knowledge... Yes i agree =)
