  The ThinkAloud project will help me integrate technology in the classroom in many ways. I will be able to make extremely detailed presentations, because of the tools I learned how to use in this project. I will also be able to teach my students how to use the tools I used to teach them. I will be able to encourage creativity and also help the students be creative with technology. When I’m researching something new to teach I will be able to tell the validity of the website I am using. I will also be able to tell if the author is bias, gains something from what he has published, and also to research any claims or data presented.
