Today, teachers are having to deal with the new technology that is coming out and many have little ability to use it in the classroom. Today's students have been raised in the "Wired World since 1982 (West &West 2009, P. 24)"and have the advantage of knowing how to use this technology. It is now up to teachers to bring this technology into the class room and teach our students in the present and not from the traditional text book theory.Here is a great way to integrate technology into a class plan that takes little to no effort to do, if only practice. With the use of wikis and blogs students can build on their own knowledge by collaborating with others in the classroom. Some may find that after learning to blog with safety in mind many may continue to blog way after the class lessons have ended. Adding technology to the lesson plans not only will bring the students to a higher learning status but it will also bridge the gap between students and teachers.
