Chapter 7 talks about evaluating educational technology, and integrating different strategies. It talks about making sure that the technology you use should always be appropriate to the students, it must has some relatibility to the topic that you are currently discussing, and that it should be educational and motivational. I think that the use of technology in the classroom is great especially to help keep the interest of the students, and the just using a little bit of common sense will be fine in determining which medias, and topics are appropriate for students.
The interent is a great tool for both students and teachers, but it can easily be a source for concern. Not all websites are accurate, and some are inappropriate for children. The chapter talks about different rubrics that teachers should try to use when thinking about incorperating them into their lectures.
This week we worked on PowerPoint agian. I know most of the basics of PowerPoint from working previous projects and assaignments. One of the things I did not how to do was link slides together. I think that using that option in the way we did today with the Jeopardy would be a great idea to use in the future.

I had no idea what linking slides together was, but it is a really great feature!
