Technology in the Classroom

I am actually not an education major, I am taking this class to fulfill a computer class credit. I have thought about opening my own CPR and first aid business for a few years now. So I do think it is important for me to take this class so I can learn how to use the computer in the classroom. I think that this class will teach me how to use the internet as a teaching tool. I want to learn the different ways that the internet can be used as an asset to me and the students I teach. CPR is a lifesaving technique and if I can find additional resources and ways to cater to the different learning styles of students then I think it is important! I think the internet will be used in teaching CPR through watching videos. Also being able to pull up studies on the effectiveness of CPR. We could also post videos and let the students critique themselves of how they did CPR. Below is a link of the study of CPR that would be useful in a classroom.
