Technology with Little Children

I learned that there are many different way to implement technology in the classroom that i even appropriate for little children. I loved that in the Spider video they made a website that they shared with a class in another state. I thought that it was so awesome that they got to interact with students in a different state and to see the various spiders in a different part of the U.S. It looked relatively easy to make the website to share the information with the other class.

I learned that in using a book you can draw pictures on the computer to illustrate and create a new that book that is based on the original book. I thought that it was a great idea to have the students write a new book and to use the computers to draw their pictures. Sometimes it can be monotonous to alway draw pictures, but doing it on the computers gives it a new exciting spin on it.

I learned that you can have students create a slide show to teach others about certain subjects, such as habitats. It's an excellent idea to let the students teach and this is a wonderful opportunity to do that. I learned that students are not just limited to power points for what they can use and be exposed to. I need to be more conscious of their desire to use technology.

Technology in the Classroom

My initial reaction to the amount of technology that my mentor teacher had access to was that it was a minimal amount. I think I am used to BYU having a projector for power points in every classroom and Mac laptops for the computers. In the classroom I am in she only has 3 computers to work with and they look pretty old. The school only has 2 projectors that they all share and she doesn't have a t.v. in her classroom. I was kind of surprised at that. She doesn't ever use technology besides the 3 computers, which is understandable since she does not really have access to it. She's a great teacher without technology though.
I have completed both 1 and 2 parts.
