Conception of Technology

How has your conception of technology changed since the beginning of the semester? (If it hasn't changed, explain what your view is and why it hasn't changed?)

Technology can be anything from an idea, to a tool, to a product, to a system of organization. I don't think my conception of technology has necessarily changed, just my knowledge has broadened. I've learned about many applications of new technologies such as garageband, web 2.0, google tools, wikis, and so on. I've been introduced to so many free technologies that I didn't know existed. I've also learned that to effectively use technology in our classrooms we need to have a purpose and objective in mind. Technology can greatly enhance our lessons and engage our students more actively in their learning.
