Chapter 6 question :Based on the information in chapter 6, would you prefer to teach in a classroom that had more or less digital technologies? Why or why not?
I would prefer to teach in a classroom that had more digital technologies because I want my students to get as much as they can out of my class. I want to keep my students engaged and wanting to participate in class. Having the digital technologies would also make it easier to track my students progress a little easier. As chapter 6 mentions students can get distracted easily and begin doing other things during class time, but I believe it is worth it because my students will be interested and learning in a fun way.
Chapter 11 question:For both audio and visual technologies, identify one traditional and one emerging technology from the book, and explain how you could potentially use all four devices in the classroom. Post your responses on your blog page you created for this class
In chapter 11, they mention computers (standard desktop) as a traditional technology. Although a computer is traditional new programs can be downloaded to help students learn the way they do best (visual, auditory, etc.) An emerging technology would be pocket pc's, ipad, itouches. They can be used to better keep track of students calendars, academic work, progress, homework, etc. These things can also be used as a reward, in my opinion.
