Previous Educational Technology Experience

In the previous semester, I have created videos to help demonstrate some activities. I also have some experience in photo and video editing as well as using a professional digital camera. I am comfortable working with tablets, computers, laptops, and SmartBoards. During my time in field placement and in education courses, I've been introduced to apps and websites that are helpful for in-class activities, assessments, and other educational purposes.

I believe my previous technology experience will help me a lot to integrate technology into the classroom. 

Burning Question

Some educators support the use of technology in the classroom and some don't. I believe technology has brought many important resources to share with students. My question, what is the appropriate amount use of technology in the classroom? And what are the different technology resources that can be used to enhance student learning.?

This question is important to me because I want to use technology to boost student learning not to harm it.
