My definition of educational technology

Educational technology is the use of computers and other

technological devices to enhance student learning, better than “teacher lecture” learning.

A technology I want to use in my classroom

• Laptops- I would love for every student in my class to have a lap top because there are so many wonderful learning experiences and programs that children can learn from, different from reading from a textbook or listening to a teacher lecture

My vision of the classroom of the future

• I would like to see students on the computer everyday

• Young elementary students will know how to use email and communicate with each other through the internet

• Students can work independently on the computer without teacher assistance

• Some of the core subjects with be completed on the computer

A challenge for teaching

• My biggest challenge will be transitioning from textbook and teacher led lessons to computer based learning. Not only will students have to learn, but so will I.

Words of wisdom

If a child can't learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn.
