Reflection: When completing this last matrix, it helped me a lot to reflect on the work we have been doing in the past
couple of weeks. Last weeks work even helped me out to do it. I have to say that since this is the last matrix for the
semester, I think that I am finally beginning to understand them and why they are important. They really do help to
understand the necessary standards for technology in an elementary education classroom. They have also helped me do a
lot of brainstorming of how to integrate them into the classroom and lessons to plan out around them.
