How have you used technology to enhance your teaching- how do you want to in the future, what technology is necessary?
I would say that the technology that is necessary in the classroom is a computer and an overhead projector. I feel that these are necessary because it makes it easier to show students examples of work, and ideas. These are also the only technological items I have used in the classroom. I feel that it would also be nice to have computers available for the students, along with software for editing for photos and videos. This way students could work on projects such as: stop motion, photography, and video. Of course, this would also require that the students to have cameras. Of course there would not need to be one of each student. Just a few, and the students could share.
In the end it is often true that you get what is available, but it is always nice to have a wish list of different items that would improve instruction and learning. Also remember the websites discussed in class that provide opportunities for funding project and technology.
