1. Describe your initial reactions or thoughts as you watched this video.
I really enjoyed that the kids were getting hands on experience. That kind of experience is fascinating to the kids and it is an incentive to learn more. With that motivation, the teachers got the students to use technology to convey their enthusiasm for history. The technology used was video cameras and digital cameras.
2. What did you learn about technology integration from this video?
That it entices the learning experience.
3. What did you learn about pedagogy (the art of teaching) from this video?
The teachers appeared to love their job, and the kids seemed to love the learning process. The teachers integrated what they could and made it fun.
4. Do you think these types of projects are possible for you and your students? Why or why not?
I think any subject is possible to teach using technology. It only requires creativity.

I loved what these students and teachers are doing! They are taking the technology skills that they learn and applying it to learn about other things and places. I think this is a great way to implement technology in the classroom!
