What do I need to know about technology integration before I become a teacher?

i think i have a lot to learn. i mainly know how to use excell and word, but i could use more advanced information. i would need to know the environment and know the technology, that way i can answer questions and i know what i'm doing. just because i use the computer, doesn't mean i'm using technology. by knowing what i'm doing and using all sorts of technology is actually knowing the technology. the children's grades will not improve, but using it as a classroom resource is allowing my students to learn about technology and allow them to learn.

What do I know and feel about integrating tehnology in the classroom?

I feel that it is important to have technology in the classroom because it's our future and i believe children need to know how to use new technology and what to expect when using it. Isn't that one of the reasons why i have to take this class, so i know how to use the technology when i move on in school or with my career? Technology is advancing throughout the years and it is a big part of our everyday lives, so knowing how to use it is an important aspect.
