Chapter 6: Digital Technologies in the Classroom

After reading this chapter about technology in the classroom I would have to say that as a new teacher, I would prefer to teach in a classroom that had more digital technologies. The reason being, our society is changing rapidly involving lots of technology, students need to know how to use these technologies and what better way to teach the proper uses then in a classroom? Technologies such as scanners are great for copying a hard copy image into a digital document where they can then manipulate the document in any means nessisary. Electonic Whiteboards also seem to be a great way to get the students involved and interested in what they are trying to learn. Being able to save something written down on a white board before erasing it is a great advancement in technology. Technology is to help us better and make our world easier, and if we can educate our students in these neat new ways, learning will be twice as fun.
