Technology
Technology is all around us and there is no hiding from it. I believe that technology is such an important part of the world today. It's constantly changing to become more efficient, upgraded and more stylish. I think to teach a classroom at today's age without technology would be very difficult and to be honest, pretty boring. Technology to me is needed day in and day out. I may not be the best with technology but everyone should be willing to give it a try, just like me.
This blog motivated me to begin looking at different types of technology to use in my classroom. Story Bird is a great way to create stories using pictures and your own text. It's also simple enough for students to create their own stories as well. I've attached this tutorial and I hope everyone checks it out, and also finds it useful.
I've also attached a website that is called "100 Apps for Tech-Savy Teachers". Hopefully this is something that will help teachers tackle the day to day work load, while learning about technology.

Personally, I would rather use paper and pencil in the classroom but, things are changing so I guess I should try to enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteI agree technology has become part of our everyday life.
ReplyDeleteI think it's neat you were inspired to go look up other types of technology that could be used in the classroom! Story Bird seems like something to check out as well!
ReplyDelete"I think that if technology is used in the right way it can be a great help to both the teacher and the students"... This may have been the best sentece in your bog. It is true. If teachers use technology for the good instead of letting them run wide with it can be a helpful to the teacher and keep the student intuned with the class...very good blog
ReplyDeleteI think its almost a must to incorporate some type of technology into your classroom. Its also equally important for teachers to have those resources for assistance (like Story Bird). Great blog!
