Classroom Technology

Learning all different kinds of classroom technology has really opened up my mind to the possibilities that it has to offer students. I really like all the computer games and interactions, as well as google earth. I think that both of these I will really be able to use for my science classes. I love all of the technology areas but i think those two would be of my most interest. I never knew how much you can learn from them, and how it really stimulates your mind. I am very excited to be able to learn more and start using these when i start teaching!

My Classroom

I plan to teach junior high science and math, if I could I would love to be able to teach at my old school, or another private school. In my newsletter however, I put that I was teaching 6th grade math and science. I put a lot of emphasis on hands on learning, and going on field trips. I feel that that is the best way to really have your students engage and learn the their highest level when they are able to experience the topic themselves. I will try to use a lot of word processing activities with the use of pictures and graphs. and have them be able to learn word processing on their own and understand how to use it.

Integrating Technology in the classroom

I agree and feel like it is beneficial to integrate technology into the classroom. I think kids today are more aware and are able to understand technology better than previous generations, and with the way today's society using more and more technology for everyday use as well as in the classroom. The smart board i think is a a great way for students and teachers to really stay on track for a particular class, and not add or miss important issues or topics that might have been missed other wise. Using more technology benefits both teachers in students, but simplifying the unnecessary aspects of teaching and learning, so you are able to concentrate more on what is really needed.
