Today in class we watched a video based on the integration of technology within a teacher’s classroom. I took away multiple things from this video, which will aide me in integrating technology into my future classroom. The first way of integrating technology into my classroom would be to have an interactive white board. Integrating an interactive white board into a classroom allows for cooperative learning, and engagement and participation among the students. Cooperative learning includes the making of groups, in which the students can come to the board as a group and participate in that particular interactive white board lesson. Another way of integrating technology within my future classroom that I took away from this short video clip is through online collaborative projects. With online collaborative projects, I as a future teacher, could integrate pen pals or in this case E-pals into my classroom. Another way of integrating technology I took away involves blogging. Using blogging as a teacher is a good way to keep a daily document of what went on throughout the day in your classroom. Having students use blogs will allow the students to express their opinion on current events as well as classroom activities. Through identifying these ways of integrating technology, we developed “lens” in which we were able to realize what we could do before, what we could do without technology, and what is made better with technology. Doing this lens activity was a great way to see how technology has bettered education.
Today’s class was a great way to discuss the brilliant aspects of technology as well as the mistakes of technology.
NOTES:
How she integrates technology into her classroom:
•Using a daily blog (open classroom: document what is going on within the classroom, it’s a way to document what went on throughout the day.)
•Interactive white board (cooperative learning: groups working at the Smart Board, engagement and participation: motivating, students are curious)
•Online collaborative projects (work with other students throughout the word) (epals)
•Student blogs about current events and classroom activities: state their opinion.
•Laptops (mobile labs)
