Throughout these two years in college all I’ve heard is technology is changing the way we teach today. I always refused to that idea but reading trough the articles on Mrs. Cyndi Danner-Kuhn’s blog I noticed that teachers today have moved away from the traditional worksheet activities and into a more technology based lessons. I have read great ideas for lessons using technology on this blog, but the two that have gotten my attention the most are: Kindergarten Digital Camera Scavenger Hunt: A Look Back, and Flip, Skype and iPad find everyday usage in Lisa Boeglin's class at Scott Elementary. These two stories have shown me how to be creative and use technology in my classroom. Kids from every age now days are tech savvies and by using technology in the classroom we keep their attention and interest in learning. I have found this blog to be a great resource and as a future teacher this blog offers me with new ideas and methods of teaching. I could definitely use this blog for my future lesson plans and class activities.
“Despite all of the technology, Boeglin said, she is still using activities of yesteryear — students read softcover books, practice their handwriting and keep journals, not the electronic version. But by integrating technology, students are more engaged, and it gives them an early exposure, Boeglin said.”
