Blog Post # 14

The article discussed a guide to technology in the classroom. The main way to help children learn with technology is to convince them they can use there devices for learning. Furthermore, it goes over stages that can guide the technological classroom. Stage one discusses about doing your homework, and preparing as teacher for things that may happen. It goes over lesson planning, leg work, troubleshooting, and take way. Stage two goes over that you should post and discuss learning goals at the beginning. Also, go over what they students will do and what is expected of them in the classroom.  Stage three goes over balancing time with technology, and using other modes of learning. Stage four is about using the various technologies that children love in the classroom.  It goes over how the old days of whiteboards are over, and iPads should be used.

I do like the suggestions that where made in the article, and I am all for using technology in the classroom. I think that even if children do not have technology outside of the classroom they require more stimulus than just paper and colors. I think I would be able to implement these in my future classroom. Hopefully I will work in a school that has access to technology so that I can use it in my classroom.
