what they are learning when they can connect it to what they already know about the world around them. I also believe that
technology will enhance student learning when they are engaged in the lesson and can connect it's use to the world they already
know and understand.My research started at http://www.google.com I reviewed and used information from the following links:

Engagement: Developing an educational philosophy/technology page is not an easy task since I struggle with technology and have never tried to write down my own educational philosophy. However, with much trial and error, I realized that two pages were needed to complete this assignment so I have included a link at the bottom of the page which will take the viewer to the first page and the website index (this is the second page). There are several links included on this page because each offered something that was needed for the completion of this project and each provided understanding of different components.

Reflection: Building a web page has not been easy. However, as I have progressed, it is obvious that this skill offers so much for a classroom teacher and an enrichment for students within the classroom. For example, I can build a web site on my district's server that would display lessons, tutorials, grades, and other interesting information students and parents might find useful. I could also include a chat room where students and parents could converse with me about class projects, lessons, and other concerns. Building web pages is a useful tool that I intend to use to help my students gain mastery of content while learning technology skills that will go with them throughout their daily lives.
