Technology Inventory

There is so much technology at my school! I went to a training for how to use Promethean boards (an interactive whiteboard) and I was amazed at all the things you can do with it. After seeing how it can enhance learning an student participation I can't imagine teaching without one! I was also impressed to see how many computers are in each classroom around the school and how often the students get to use them.

In my classroom the students take reading assessments on the computer. It's great because it varies the tests questions from comprehension to listening, etc. It saves the teacher time on having to grade the tests and the teacher gets a printout of how the students did and what areas they still need to work on. The computers are also used to help the students learn and review skills. There are several fun learning games and lessons for the students to complete on the computer as part of their center time for math or reading. In addition to computer time in the classroom the students also get to have computer lab time twice a week.
