Chapter six talks about technology, digital media, and cirriculum integration. Digital media and technology both can be intergral in a classroom; helping the students to better understand a particular topic. With the constant use of technology and digitial media influence in everyday life, its almost necessary to intergrate them as part of the cirriculum.

I personally think that technology will greatly aid in helping the students to better understand certain topics. With math, watching a show like CBS's Numb3rs would benefit the students by showing them the vast areas in which math can be used, and it would bring the topic to a level better understood by the students. Also, there are many new programs being developed everyday and intergrating things like AutoCad into different projects would keep the students interested.

This week we worked in Excell. I had worked in Excell before so I had a basic understanding of Excell worked; but there were many things that I didn't know. For example: printing a select group of cells, centering a cell across a group of cells. I went to London and Paris for spring break with two of my friends and we had the best time ever!:)
