Chapter 4 Reflection

In chapter 4, I learned a lot about technological devices that will enhance the classroom in many ways. I learned how digital cameras, scanners, graphic tablets, microphones, touch screens, and electronic white boards can make learning much easier and a lot more fun for students and teachers. There are also some output devices that can be used in the classroom such as data projectors, scan converters, and speakers that will provide many opportunities to present information within the lessons. This chapter gives a lot of great ideas about using different devices to incorporate into the classroom. Having these kinds of devices available in the classroom will give students a variety of ways to learn as well as give them some opportunities to have fun with the tools they are given rather that just copying notes from the backboard all day. I want these devices available in my classroom to mix up lesson plans and to make sure students are continuously engaged in the material.
