I have been a proponent of technology in the classroom for a long time. This was actually the basis of my senior project in high school, when I analyzed such revolutionary (at the time) items as projected Powerpoint lectures and classroom web pages. That was 2000, and technology has increased dramatically since then. I am constantly discovering new things that can be used to improve a child's learning experience.
My two favorite methods continue to be those that I advocated 9 years ago. I believe Powerpoint is a very useful tool to convey key lecture points and show pertinent visuals. The college courses I have taken in which it has been utilized have been the clearest and easiest for me to understand. I believe a classroom web page is also important to provide resources for students and parents alike. Practice quizzes, helpful links, and classroom policies can be viewed at any time. As technology continues to grow, I may incorporate additional digital media such as blogs, podcasts, and social networking sites.
As the whole world progresses, we cannot afford to remain in the past.
