As a future educator in Illinois, it is important to stay up-to-date on technology education. The Illinois State Board of Education website provides teachers with links to countless websites about integrating technology into the classroom. Every day new technology changes and improves, and teachers use the websites to learn the most beneficial ways to use it in the classroom because outdated technology may lose students' attention quickly. A teacher uses the websites to improve his or her use of technology in the classroom. As an early childhood education major, I focused on the use of technology in the early childhood program. The website included links for early childhood educators, elementary educators, secondary educators, and special education educators.
