Week 2 Practicum

My teacher has yet to use any technology, however when I sat in a music class the teacher used a Smart Board. It was way neat. She even let the kids draw on it too, so she was involving them in the technology. The Smart Boards make the board way more colorful and you can do so much with it. I would love to have my own in my classroom.

When I tried to bring my laptop in to use it in a science lesson I was unable to use it because I couldn't connect to the internet. Next time I need to ask how to connect to the internet there.

Technology could be used for any of the reading lessons to make them more interesting and different. We do the same things with phonics and reading and I think they could benefit from technology. We highlight words in sentences and the kids could do this with a smart board or just a power point or something different.
