Technology in the Classroom

There is so much that I have learned about technology. One thing that I have not learned enough about would be the smart boards. I would love to learn more about them and what I could use them for in the classroom. Skype is something I would have never thought about using in the classroom. I know now that it can be a valuable tool. Being able to Skype students and teachers half way around the world is very exciting and I think the students would learn a lot about the way things happen. Podcasts are another piece of technology that I had not heard of until recently. Using podcasts in the classroom would give the students opportunities to work together on group projects. It would also benefit the parents because they would be able to listen to their child’s podcast and hear what their learning about. These are just two of many technological advances that we could have in our schools.
