Edith Bowen Class Tour

Today we went to the Edith Bowen Lab School. We went to Mr. Johnson's classroom and he showed us the different kind of technology that he uses in his classroom. This is was fun to see! He uses some amazing things in his classroom to enhance his teaching with technology. A few of the things he used that i really liked were IPODS for audiobooks, wii for learning math, Mac computers for learning with interactive websites. All of these and more are some things that Mr. Johnson uses. I think that it is so awesome that he has the resources to bring all of this into his classroom. I hope that i can use some of these things in my future classrooom. Students are using so much technology these days, so this will only help them learn more!

We also did a website evaluation in class today. This was good because it helped me realize what websites are worth using and are credited. It is important as a teacher that we use websites that are informational and true in what they are saying. I also found that there are some very good websites out there that can be so helpful in teaching. I do have to be careful though to make sure that they are scholarly and informational!
