In this chapter i liked the part about finding funds to support classroom technology. i read about grants, proposal, and even partents with contacts to local businesses pitch in. I also read about how important the evaluation of educational technology is before the teacher starts teaching it. teachers can turn to websites and other resources to help them choose and understand which education technology is appropriate.
I learned how to use inspiration this week. i never knew what that was until this course. i think this will be very helpful to me and my career considering i want to teach elementary school. in elementary school i think the kids would be able to understand the concept of webs and maps.
I volunteered at pineview elementary school this semester for my EDF1005 class. i sat through and helped out in kindergarten and fourth grade classrooms. both of those grade leves set aside time to use computers. the students love it and can not wait to go to the computer lab. they see it as a fun thing and they are also learning, i disagree with anyone who thinks technology in the classroom is a distraction.
