I was not able to do the technology worksheet because the school specialist can't meet with us until tomorrow. I will do the worksheet as soon as possible. This week I have been learning how teachers actually are using technology in the classroom. Our supervising teacher uses technology in many ways. She showed the children a video about C.S. Lewis which captured their attention. The children also went to computer lab and are learning there. The teacher records her grades online and has the children do their homework online if they have access to the computer. She thinks their spelling scores have increased because they enjoy doing their homework online.
The ways the teacher uses technology give me ideas about things that I can include in my lesson plans in college. I think it would be neat to include videos, documentaries, or pictures as I prepare lessons so I can practice for the future.
This changes my schema about all the things that can be done with technology in the classroom. I think it's a great idea to record grades online. It would be very neat and easy to track. Having the students do homework online would cut down on wasting paper and would cut down on clutter for the teacher and students. The video was a fun way to introduce C.S. Lewis. The teacher also has recordings of the books the students are reading which they get to listen to once a week. It was enjoyable for the students and I think it would increase their vocabulary and pronounciation. It's fun to see technology being used in the classroom!
