Technology has grown rapidly today and still is increasing. Students
are now using laptops, iPads, iPods, and cellphones in their everyday use. Educators
have to maintain an interest in the newly technology to be able to relate to
students. Technology has the power in enhancing a student’s success, basic
skills and communication skills.
My favorite technology is the Smart Board. You can use the Smart
Board to do anything you would like and conduct activities. The Smart Board is
like a projector, whiteboard and computer all into one. I use the Smart Board
to do the following: demonstrate examples, show videos, work together as a
group on class worksheets, web searches, PowerPoint, can be used as a timer for
tests, and much more. The Smart Board is like a motivator, and the best part is
that you get to save every file you create.
“Learning should be hands-on and experience-based, and that
meaningful learning resulted from students working together on tasks related to
their interest (Dewey, p.41).” Students love to play around with the Smart
Board to do presentations or just to share information. Technology in the class
is improving the following: lectures, attitudes, and decreasing the number of
drop-outs.
Smart Boards are great for any classroom. One could easily access files from a cloud drive. Students can be engaged more by having access from the variety of tools. It even increases the efficiency of class time! Awesome choice in technology!
