Technology has become the new buzz word in education. With technology becoming a huge priority for school systems, the technology resources that we have available give our students many opportunities for improved learning. This article addresses how our instructional teaching strategies have been modified and enhanced by leaving the "traditional teacher-centric" teaching method and allowing our students to have an active role in their learning that is technology based. There are many ways that technology can help to create a more student-centered classroom. In my experience as a teacher, technology has been a great assessment tool for both me and the students and it has also helped the students to take responsibility for their learning. I agree that this method is not the easiest. It is easier for us to be the leaders of learning, rather than the facilitators. We teachers like to have control and it is sometimes hard to let that go. Although integrating technology within the classroom requires more time and effort, the outcome is worth it when our student's learning is improved by being more engaged in classroom activities.
