So I don't use powerpoint for every lesson?

How can technology be woven throughout the scope and sequence of a course?

Integrating technology into the scope and sequence of a course can not only be difficult, but also can cause distractions during the implementation of the content. Technology should never be an afterthought or a fast-finisher-filler. Technology integration should be relevant and a carefully planned part of the curriculum. I think one of the underlying factors to technology use should be whether it will enhance learning. Oft times we see technology merely thrown in which might cause distractions for student learning. Seamless learning should take place where technology becomes the tool and not the centerpiece of the lesson.

How can both general pedagogical and content-specific technologies be utilized effectively throughout a course?

As technology is utilized within the scope and sequence of each content area, general and specific tools should be evaluated before content integration. There are many technologies that will just work with most content areas. You want group interaction? Google docs and blogging could be used to help students interact with each other. Presentation tools such as Powerpoint, Prezi, Nearpod, and many others could enhance group assignments. 

I think that content-specific technologies should be utilized more in the classroom. This is one of the fallacies of my integration and teaching. I need to utilize simulations, tools, and other technologies that are specific to what we learn. Real world application is lacking in education. My job is to prepare students to leave school with the necessary tools and relevant skills to be able to participate and contribute to society. 

If we make the content relevant, students will engage and have the desire to learn. Problems such as classroom management fall into the background and real-world learning will become the forefront of our classroom.
