       Digital storytelling is a way for students to tell a story online independently or with partners. This is a great way of retelling a story or creating their own story. I think this is a wonderful way of bringing technology into a classroom.
       Mathematics is a very important part of education now and using technology can be a very helpful key to students that struggle with visualizing math. One way that our book states that you can integrate technology into math is visualizing geography with geographic information systems. GIS is a system that stores, retrieves, displays, analysis and manipulates geographic data. This system allows students to construct maps, create charts and tables to summarize data they find. Another way to integrate technology with math is using graphing calculators . Students that use these calculators can make connections between what is happening mathematically to a picture of a graph or formula. Students can also use video cameras or digital cameras to make math more real. You are able to put real life into mathematical situations.
       I believe that a person can learn from watching  television, however, I think there needs to be alternate learning methods as well. I know with my daughter she can pick up many great ideas from the television (as well as bad ones). But I think that students learn from different learning styles and so learning from television alone may work for some but not for all.
