Week 3: Assignment 2

Which ideas from the PPT reflect what the ELA teachers you interviewed are currently doing to integrate technology with their literacy instruction? 
The PowerPoint talks about ICT's which are information and communication technologies. These include hardware and applications used to convey content. When interviewing my ELA teacher she talked about using google classroom which is an application students and teachers can use to submit and comment on work. 

How can you help change their instructional practices to include the use of technology and the Internet in their literacy and content-area curriculum?
One thing that I think would improve the use of technology in the classroom would be more online games/quizzes. There are many programs that allow teachers to create quizzes and educational games for children to interact with, and students seem to be more engaged this way.

What professional development and/or resources will they need in order to make these changes? I feel as if making these changes would be quite simple for teachers, as most teachers know how to use the internet. However, I think it is always beneficial for teachers to broaden their horizons and learn new things, especially when it comes to technology, an ever changing matter. What ideas do you have for grouping students so they will have equal access to technology in the classroom?
When it comes to group work, I think that doing some form of centers is a good idea, especially if the resources are limited. Having a group of students work on the computers and another group working on something else, and switching will keep the lesson interesting and also allow every student time on the computer.
