Technology Videos

    It was so interesting to see how all of the teachers used technology in the classroom.  The most important thing I learned from watching the videos is that technology projects do not have to be super complicated things.  Even looking at the I love Spiders lesson we were able to see the students take pictures of spiders and to see how excited they were about finding the spider.  It also interested them as they got to see pictures of spiders that were posted by another class.  This was a fun form of technology that allowed communication between two classes to compare and contrast their results.  This class was a younger grade, but was still able to use technology.  I think that that really taught me that you could use technology with any grade level.  It will be different because of the difficulty level, but they can all learn from the experience.  It was also fun to see how much the students enjoyed learning with technology, which probably came from shaking up the normal day.
