Curriculum 21: Chapters 5 and 12
These chapters focus mainly on technology in education. Technology can be a very useful tool in any classroom, but some educators don't use the technology to help their students learn. For instance, I have a neighboring classroom that has an interactive white board and learner response system which can be used to bring many interactive lessons to the students. Unfortunately, the teacher in the classroom prefers using a whiteboard and markers with the occasional projector for video clips. In my classroom, I have two outdated computers which are slow and are clearly not enough to do full class one-to-one lessons. I'm hoping to incorporate some more tech related aspects to my classroom activities, but I have some big constraints to work within.

David, you should ask your neighboring teacher to switch rooms with you since she isn't really utilizing her smartboard :) hahah I know she probably won't switch with you, but its a thought. Technology is great! But, if we are not taught how to incorporate technology in our lessons, then why should we have it in our classrooms, when other teachers could use them. I hope that you get some updated technology for your classroom in the near future.
