Prompt: "Since you are all in Tuesday Experience, can you share with me what you see happening in your school setting with respect to technology?"
The school that I am currently working in for my field experience does not use much technology in every day classroom activities, that I have observed. There is one computer in my classroom for students to use, and the use of that computer is primarly to see what books are in the library. In the library, however there are several computers that students recieve instruction on (learning typing, how to use programs, and accessing information on the internet).
I know that there are some schools in the district that are in the process of having Smart Boards installed in the classrooms. I was wondering if any of my fellow student teachers have had the opporunity to use the Smart Board and I was also wondering what they think of it. I worked in a classroom last semester that had a Smart Board put in just around the time I was leaving so I didn't get to work with it. Since I know so many schools have a least one Smart Board in the school I would love to learn how to utilize this technology.

Anna,
In my classroom we use the Smart Board on a daily basis. Sometime after February break you should come across the hall to see how the teacher integrates the Smart Board into his lessons throughout the day. I haven't had the oppotunity to use the Smart Board myself, but the students are able to participate on a regular basis. I'll let you know when we plan on using it next; we primarily use the Smart Board for math lessons because students are able to come to the board to participate and the teacher can use the program to draw very accurate and neat shapes (i.e. shapes to teach about symmetry). Let me know if you are interested!
