Day 2 Morning

How do you currently use technology in the classroom?
I had a SmartBoard in my room last year, so would use the lesson presentations for Math on that, with the kids contributing their answers... they love to work with the SmartBoard.
I would also use United Streaming which has a plethora of videos that tie in to any lesson that you would teach.
I have also used Orchard, which is a review program and has games incorporated into it. We had it at school for Math and Reading.
I've also used the Internet for research with the kids, and for playing Math games.........there are lots available, one website which is really quirky is Mathcats.com
I endeavour to use as much technology as possible, but also incorporate some of the more traditional approaches to teaching, as I believe that it's important to maintain a balance between playing with learning, and getting the basics of a subject so that you actually know what you are playing about, not just guessing!
