Technology in the classroom has enhanced the way that teachers facilitate information to their students. Teachers now have an abundance of resources to use in their classroom that make learning so much more enjoyable for their students. What a better way for students to learn about a subject than by watching a power point presentation or watching a clip from the Discovery Channel on the computer? Also, think about how much more information is available for students to research using the internet rather than looking the information up in an encyclopedia. When the students are using the internet, they have so many more resources available to them.
Smart boards are another awesome example of technology in the classroom. These boards make standing in front of the classroom and presenting information to the students so much more exciting than the old days of placing transparencies on the overheard, which sometimes were not always clear for the students to see.
Technology continues to enhance the way information in projected to the students. I feel that the numerous resources that we have learned about in Instructional Technology will be a tremendous help to us when we are finally in the classroom. Tell me what you think…
