How can you effectively integrate technology into your teaching and learning?

Because technology is so common it's easy to get a hold of for use in the classroom for both teaching and learning. In class we've gone through multiple examples of how technology can be effectively integrated into the classroom, such as using a class wiki, Google Earth, iMovie, podcasts, smartboards, and many more. There are many MANY different technologies out there that can be applied in the classroom to all subjects. By using these technologies we are not only able to educate the students on technology use, but we are also able to get across to their multiple intelligences making education better for everyone all around. My only concern, and we've gone over this before, is that when we use the technology in the classroom it might be more distracting for some students and it could be difficult to monitor what they're doing to make sure that they are staying on task.
