I am taking a Technology class for my master's degree program. One of my assignments is to create a blog and have people respond to it. Here goes.....

I enjoy using technology in the classroom. I find that it really promotes student interest in what we're teaching and learning. Some of the most popular technology integration ideas I do are...

I find many obstacles in the way of technology integration - time, knowledge, desire - and one main aide in overcoming those obstacles - commitment. How do people become committed to using technology in the classroom?
