Technology Changing the Way I Teach

I really enjoyed this week and what we learned. It was really insightful to hear from a variety of people how they would use technology in a certain grade. I thought people had many good ideas from Smart Board, Prezi, different websites, and many others. I loved how creative people became with the different technology and it all seemed to flow in with their lesson plan. It seemed like everybody found a new way to use technology, which shows how many different ways you can use it in classrooms today. I felt that in my own brainstorming it was hard to find something that would be simple enough for kindergarteners to grasp. I did find some good websites on life science, which I think would be great to use in my classroom. They were mostly for me as a teacher to show to my students as an exercise at the beginning of a section. However, they were short video clips of children their own age telling about what they thought of life science with pictures. I thought it would be a wonderful way to get the children talking about the topic and excited. I can see how technology will be great in aiding my classroom and I am excited to learn more in how it will be effective. I hope in the future to find even more websites on things to teach in the kindergarten classroom.
