My goals for this course is to learn all the different kinds of technology elementary schools have to offer. In my first year, my placement was in a kindergarten classroom and I saw the many different ways technology was used in the classroom for their learning. It inspired myself, as a future teacher that technology is an excellent way to help teach students learn.
Through elementary I had little experience with technology when it came to my learning. As I progressed through junior high and high school technology was increased in my classrooms. Mostly, it was just school computers that I used. I wished there was more technology used in my classrooms as I think it would of helped with my learning, especially now that I see whiteboards in almost all classrooms.
The "burning" question I would like to research and know more about is "how has technology changed the way students learn?" In more detail whiteboards are used in many classrooms to help students learn and understand. Since I am minoring in math, whiteboards are an excellent way to help teach students learn as students seem to learn more visually.
Hi Jenna,
ReplyDeleteI love your topic!!
Maybe you could focus on how SMART Boards can be used for Elementary Math Education?
Does this make sense?
Take care, Norm
Hi Norm,
ReplyDeleteI am really excited to start looking more into this topic. Yes, I understand what you are saying about SMART boards. I did a lot of research and when I typed in whiteboards it also came up as SMART boards. But know to extend my search I should strictly type in SMART boards.
Thanks
Jenna
Jenna,
ReplyDeleteIf you go to the SMART board website, there is the software that you can download for free. It may be helpful to play around with some of the games to give you an idea of what is available!
