I chose this video because it shows how some teachers may think about technology.In this video one teacher is hesitant on bringing technology into the classroom, while the other is offering ideas on ways technology will be an advantage to the students."It would be irresponsible for us as teachers not to integrate technology into the classroom."
An obstacle a teacher may face when using YouTube in the classroom is the students may not be responsoble and do what is required of them in class, such as not participating in class discussion, not listening to instruction or they may watch music videos during the entire classtime.

Spreadsheet
One way I would integrate Spreadsheets in the classroom is by using it as a tool in Science. As the teacher I can encourage the students to create a database on daily temperature changes at 8am and noon. Collecting data and to input information on spreadsheets to show when temperature was at its highest. Some advantage are neat charts and graphs , students able to see data represented in graphs , increased consistency, Improved data security and reduced data redundancy. All 6 stages of the Nets for student standards are met. (Textbook)
1) Creativity and innovation-apply existing knowledge to generate new ideas, products, or processes, create original works as a means of personal or group expression identify trends and forecast possibilities, identify trends and forecast possibilities.
2) Communication and collaboration -develop cultural understanding and global awareness by engaging with learners of other cultures, interact, collaborate, and publish with peers, experts, or others employing a variety of digital environments and media, contribute to project teams to produce original works or solve problems. Plan strategies to guide inquiry.
3)Research and information fluency-process data and report results, evaluate and select information sources and digital tools based on the appropriateness to specific tasks.
4)critical thinking, problem solving and decision making- plan and manage activities to develop a solution or complete a project, collect and analyze data to identify solutions and/or make informed decisions
5)Digital citizenship-advocate and practice safe, legal, and responsible use of information and technology. Exhibit a positive attitude toward using technology that supports collaboration, learning, and productivity.
6)Technology operations and concepts - student understands and use technology systems. Select and use applications effectively and productively. Troubleshoot systems and applications. (Nets

Database
Databases: One way I would integrate Databases in the classroom is by using it as a tool in Science. As the teacher I can encourage the students to create a database on daily weather changes. Collecting data and to input information on temperature, precipitation and cloud cover. Some advantage is increased consistency, Improved data security and reduced data redundancy. All 6 stages of the Nets for student standards are met. (textbook)

Word processing
One way I would integrate Word Processing in the classroom is by using it as a resource for English. This software encourages the writing process. For example: most students are asked to summarize readings. Draw pictures and describe pictures that demonstrate creative thinking. Integrating this software, students are provided with tools that check spelling and grammar usage within the writing process as well as producing a neat product. There are many advantages; students can produce their own written materials with minimal time and little computer expertise. (Textbook p.128) word processing is a powerful writing tool. With extended access, writing seems to improve with the use of word processing. All achieving the Nets for student’s standards with creativity and innovation; communication and collaboration -research and information fluency-; critical thinking, problem solving and decision making; digital citizenship, technology operations and concepts. lrieber.myweb.uga.edu/edit6150/ppt/usesword-rieber.ppt, Net for Students Standards, http://www.ehow.com/info_7947117_appropriate-ways-integrate-classroom.html

Meeting the needs of all students
In order to meet the needs of all students a teacher must ensure that students with disabilities receive the same curricular content as their peers without disabilities as is required by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act Amendments of 1997 (IDEA '97).
Identifying lesson topics
In order to meet the needs of all students a teacher must ensure that students with disabilities receive the same curricular content as their peers without disabilities as is required by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act Amendments of 1997 (IDEA '97). As part of the objective with students with IEP, student’s curriculum is the same but the teachers provide the accommodations that may allow a student more time to take a test, or may allow them to be in a small group.
