As I have continued to work with some of this technology, I am more convinced of the effectiveness of using it in the classroom. It is not only important to teach our children how to use computers and the internet, it is important to use this technology ourselves in our teaching. For instance, the more we know about power point, we can create more effective presentations that grab our students attention instead of creating a modern lecture.
I have begun thinking of ways to use technology to advance and challenge some of my higher level students. The power point project that I am creating has possibilities for these students to add to it. We can also use the interactive power point as a review for students who need to go over information another time, or need to have it presented in a different way. Technology is a great way to help individualize lesson plans. It is also a wonderful way to use a medium that students are interested in to capture their attention and interest.
