Hi, I'm Brent. I am a freshman at Edinboro and I am studying as an Education Major. I plan to be a future middle school math teacher. I know with becoming a teacher I will need to learn more about technology.  I believe that students learn much easier through technology. To me, I feel as if it is easier for students to work and communicate through these means, because how much interaction they have with it. 
Teachers will be able to utilize the advantages of these tools so they are able to co-operate, collaborate, and communicate on the same level.  I think that if educators implement technology into their lesson plans and classrooms, then it will help students obviously learn within those sorts of sources. This is great, because students will later in life actually need to be required to have this knowledge of technology for future jobs and tasks.  
With tools and technology aside, I believe a great teacher is someone who can make learning fun and easy but is still very knowledgeable. I believe that teaching isn't just about having the kids learn the material, but teaching them life skills and self-improvement. Teachers should guide students into the right direction and give them confidence to pursue what ever.
