My question to all the teachers out there is this: What technology do you have and use in your own classroom? What do you wish you had?
I have a SMART board that I use a lot in my classroom. I do my Daily Calendar Routine with it and when I do different centres there is usually a fun interactive centre at the SMART board. I also use it a lot for demonstrations of how to get to certain websites for when they are independently using the computer. It is much more convenient than an overhead projector. I also like to use video. At the end of the year I videotape the kiddos and put it all onto a DVD for them for a keepsake memory. They love it! We also do a lot of research on the Internet of different topics. The students are already making their own PowerPoint presentations.
I wish we could have more computers in our classroom so that they were more accessible to everyone. We are hoping for the incorporation of IPads soon and I am very excited for what the ways that that will influence engagement.
Thanks for your feedback!
