Reflection on GLEF Website

I didn't see this assignment until right before class, so I'm sorry I didn't know about it and blog sooner! The article I read was called "From Hula to High Tech." It was a story about an elementary school in Honolulu that integrates technology into its curriculum, K-6. It amazed me how high-tech the school was. I've heard of high schools having a TV studio, but not an elementary school! Each grade participates in producing a news program watched in each classroom. The teachers use technology to pull together several different subject areas. That resonated with me because that's how technology should be used. That's what I like about the media center. It's not strictly one subject area--students come in to learn about a wide variety of topics! This article is one example of the creative ways teachers can effectively use technology in the classroom. It's not hard to integrate technology if you have a staff that is enthusiastic and committed to doing so.
