• The first stage of Technology  is  the Entry Stage

This Stage is the first Stage of integration when the teachers have to gain basic skills on computers before the teacher can incorporate the technology in the classroom.

• Adoption is the second Stage

this is the Stage where teachers are using some Technology in the classroom ,but  not every day.

• Adaptation is the third Stage

 this Stage is when teachers are using Technology in the classroom regularly.

• Appropriation is the fourth Stage

 This Stage is when teachers are using Technology inside the classroom and outside the classroom the teachers are using it as a tool to learn.

• Invention is the fifth stage 

This Stage is when the teachers are creating new ways for integrating Technology inside and outside  the classroom using it as a tool to learn,also adding it to their personal skills.

Wow!!

I will be using and Integrating Technology  in the classroom. I personally love my job right now because it lets me learn a little more of what I, need to do with the children later when I become a teacher. I am learning a lot in the classroom I am right now because the teacher integrates  Technology in  the classroom with the children. the children use I-pads in the classroom to learn their letters  and at the same time, they are playing.  In the classroom  also, the children are able to practice their letter  and sing the A,B,Cs song.I personally do not know a lot about Technology all this is very new for me.

 Although  I believe Technology is very important because I live  thru my cellphone every day I use my cell phone for everything and sometimes  upsets me  because the battery dies on me. I am in contact with my family and friends and when it dies I feel that I am missing  lots of  important stuff.  I had an emergency and I had to go out of state. The  internet on my cell phone it is very slow and besides that I lose the charger for my cell phone. I felt lost and couldn't do nothing until I call  my husband using  the  telephone from the hospital. I needed to charge my cell phone and see everything that I had missed while been without my cell phone.

I use Technology very often because I need to do my homework and check my spelling on it too. But like I said  I need to learn a lot more because it is frustrating not knowing what to do when you need to create  a page that you have never heard about.In my opinion, the first Stage  of Technology its the most difficult Stage because  even if we know that it is safe it depends on the websites and tools that we use. I believe that it will be very difficult for people that do not use Technology  and are not open-minded because it will be very difficult to  update them selfs with the world nowadays. Teachers need to integrate the Technology in the classroom or otherwise they will be missing a lot of  opportunities and they might be replaced by teachers  more knowledgeable in Technology.
