Reflection
Technology operations and concepts:
It's important that teachers understand and can demonstrate the basics of technology.  The teacher needs an understanding of technology to relay the information to the students.  I think new teachers as well as teachers that have been teaching for awhile should be able to use technology in their classroom.  Using the latest technology helps students to keep up to date with the ever growing technology field.

Standards for students:
The use of technology to collect information is so very essential for students to complete any type of research.  Technology has become a huge part of our lives and everything that we do.  If the students did not have an understanding of of technology they will be behind the rest of the world.

Students need to be able to use word for to type a paper, students would need to use excel to make a spreadsheet, or maybe power point to organize a presentation.  It is important for students to be able to understand the program to do the best work possible and get the best grade.  They may also have to look up information from an Internet source.  They need to know what information is good to use and how to get it.
