Reflection:
Doing the activity related to standard 5 showerd me how I can incorporate technology in my lesson. Now that technology is more readily available to students and teachers, more activities can be inserted into lessons. Instead of using atlases and dictionaries, student could use the internet. Technology provides do many options when doing research. It is also a way to infuse fun into the lesson.
