1. The purpose of integrating technology into the lessons you saw -- what were some of the benefits
    The purpose of integrating technology into the lessons is basically to help the students develop their potentials and maximize their capacities to learn more and excel in school. Generally, technology integration motivates the students to go to school and learn the lessons well because of this new interesting approach in the learning method. Some of its benefits are largely seen in those students with disabilities since it enables them to easily cope up to the lessons. Primarily, through the aid of modern technology into their learning process, they function and live like any normal student do. Another benefit of technology integration is that it is enjoyable to do. Hence, a lot of students are taking interest in it. According to once professor in the video, this approach not just decreases the number of drop-outs in schools but it also enhances the students to learn something fun and different.

2. The computer experience you have had that might be similar to what you saw.
    In my own experience, a teacher in one of my subjects assigned us to report in class the history of our school. My group mates and I made of use Powerpoint presentation to narrate the schools history. We also utilized pictures and video clips to make the report interesting. At the end of the day, we made our teachers and our classmates impressed of our output.

3. The aspects of the technology integration that interested you most -- what might you like to be able to do as a teacher
    Personally, the aspect of technology integration that interests me most is the aspect where the elementary teacher in Tolenas Elementary School let her young students to explore and document their town using camcorders and computers. For me, it is best to teach children to participate in school at a young age and I found it effective since her students indeed took the project seriously by dedicating their time and effort. As a teacher, what I would like to do is to motivate my students to learn by making the subject appealing and interesting to them. There are actually a lot of ways to do that and one of them is to incorporate in the learning method the use of modern technology.
