**Assignment:**

I really enjoyed doing particular standard. I was able to incorporate technology into a first grade classroom. At first it seemed as thought first graders were not able to use technology because it was too hard from them, but i finally thought of some practical ways to get the students to think. I Believe many teachers should allow technology to become more commonly used inside of the classroom especially in a students earlier years in grade school because it helps them become more technology savvy and effective as time progresses.
