Power point on how technology is so useful in many ways in the classroom.

1. Technology How can technology be used in our classroom?

4. PowerPoint It is important to be able to teach others what you have learned. PowerPoints are a relatively easy way to communicate this visually, through technology.

7. Inspirations Inspirations is an excellent tool to organize whatever information you are working on. It puts your information in a “web” chart much like this but allows you to change the images, reorganize, and even change the layout of the chart!

9. Webquests Webquests are like virtual treasure hunts. You are given a task, a job to do, the instructions on how to do it, and the resources to use to accomplish the set task. At the end of a webquest you can use any of the other multimedia devices we’ve discussed to display your incredible knowledge to our class.

11. Using various forms of technology allows everyone to express him/herself in the most effective and comfortable way possible. It allows for all to have the opportunity to express thoughts and opinions in his or her own way.

12. We are very lucky to have as much technology as we do. Why, back in my day… just kidding… we do have the incredible opportunity of discovering so much more of what’s “out there” with much more ease.Plus, it’s so much more interesting to see what someone has accomplished than to simply read about it in a paper.

13. It is very important to learn to use as many different technology options as possible to bring a variety to the table. What may be interesting and “doable” to one person may not be to another. Everyone learns in different ways, so the more resources we have available, the better off we’ll be !
