Visions



What types of emerging technology would you like to have access to and how would you use it in your classroom?

(White) I would like to have access to a smart board. In a TAKS grade, the smart board would help our students and teachers identify strengths and challenges. Teachers would be able to target questions and answers and students would be able to reflect on their work. (Cagle) I have a limited amount of space in my classroom. The 5 student computers in the classroom are not feasible for my students to take turns on. The classroom is extremely too small. The desks, overhead stand, guided reading table fill the majority of the room. Any new technology for my classroom would have to be small and easy to program. (Morales) I would like to have access to an ELMO and SMART board. I would like to have a digital camera assigned to each classroom on my campus, as apart of inventory checkout. I would like to use the digital storyboard programs.  (Kruse) I love the Wiki and Blog ideas. My students could use Wiki to share ideas on a variety of topics; they could certainly learn from each other. My students write "Weekend News" every Monday; this could be in the Blog for other students to read, share, and comment on. In order to help students become more independent learners, I would like for them to use interactive online lessons.  (Peralez) I would like to have a (elmo) document camera in my classroom. This device would be useful for teaching both tactile and visual learners. The students would have the opportunity to manipulate things on the document camera in order to fully gain understanding. Most importantly the student would be fully involved in his or her learning. Our campus is also in need of more projectors. Some teacher go all year with access to one based on the limited supply.
