As new technologies are becoming emerged into learning experiences in the classroom it is essential that educators select technologies that provide effective and specific outcomes. “Technology can be conceptualized along a continuum of static to dynamic” (Moller, 2008). Static technologies are those that allow the learners to gather information, while dynamic technologies enable learners to gain a deeper understanding of content.

In considering where I am on the “static-dynamic continuum,” I believe I am moving toward the middle of the continuum. I utilize several technologies that provide my students with information and a few that enable them to collaborate and receive content that enable them to gain a deeper understanding of knowledge.

I believe that I can begin to move toward the dynamic end of the “static-dynamic continuum” by obtaining information about new technologies and utilize them in my classroom. Therefore, I must be aware of the new technologies and determine ways to use them effectively in my classroom, so that I can have my students’ utilze these new technologies.
