In a study conducted to look at students’ experiences in integrating technology in the classroom, it was found that communication between the teachers and faculty was increased, but that student learning was insufficient (Brown & Warschauer, 2006). In conjunction with this research, I believe that I will experience similar results in regards to teacher to teacher information sharing.  I am confident that using technology in the classroom is reinforced through teacher’s response and willingness to integrate it in to the curriculum.  I also believe that as we are currently experiencing a new learning curve, it will take time to fully implement the use of technology in a student-centered approach. I believe that through the interactions between teachers, we will gain a better understanding of how technology can be utilized within the classroom. Yet, I also believe that students will gain from the use of technology.  Therefore, not only will the use of technology in the classroom change the way that students learn, it will also give teachers more opportunity to collaborate and learn from what others have tried and tested in their classrooms.
