Week 12 Assignment #2

Reflection:

The more technology that we can introduce into our students lives the better. Most students see technology and know how to use it for one or two things. We need to be able to expand their knowledge of technology to go beyond social media.We need to teach them how to create digital books, digital brochures, design class webpages, etc. The more technological tools we provide them with now, the more equipped they will be further in their education.
