How do
you incorporate technology into your lesson plans? I would love to incorporate
technology into a lot of my lessons by using the smart board. However, since
this school just re-opened we do not have a lotof technological resourcs at this time. I
am working with a white board and a writing easel. I think incorporating
technology into my lessons with my 7th and 8th graders would definitely keep
them more focused. I wish there were more different technologies that I could
try to incorporate into my lessons on a daily basis. As a new teacher I know
that there is a lot for me to still learn so I am looking forward to the rest of
the school year!
After reviewing our classmates blogs, Im noticing most of the ELA teachers have similar barriers to using technology in their classroom. They all have the same complaint "lack of technology". This really makes me think that public school systems needs some serious revamping!
ReplyDeleteHow does Ms. Roman use SamrtBoard for ELA instruction? Did she mention anything specific? Does she use interactive features/programs? There are many SmartBoard interactive whiteboard lessons available for free (ex. http://www.scholastic.com/smarttech/teachers.htm). Please do share your favorite Interactive whiteboard lessons here. :)
ReplyDeleteMs. Roman does not have a SmartBoard. She has an actually dry erase white board. We do not have much technology in our school. We both wish that we could at least get a SmartBoard in our rooms because that would help our students focus and be more productive.
