Reflection

Technology and multimedia resources are a positive addition in the classroom. Technology helps students acquire the skills they need to survive in a complex, and highly technological knowledge-based economy. I believe when incorporating technology into the classroom it opens the students minds to new forms of learning and teaching. Allowing students to use interactive boards, hand held games, and the use of computers in and outside the classroom is a great addition to learning. With technology having the ability to assess students in alternative ways there are unlimited amounts of way technology can assist with evaluation of student language, literacy, and academic content. Allowing students to use the computers in the classroom offers many ways to asses their understanding. On a computer they are able to take tests and get immediate answers and results, and have an online check list which allows them to make sure they have covered the proper material. Another way to asses students work is allowing them to work on an online portfolio, students will collect their work online and the teacher can document their improvement. After finding many helpful websites for students to use, it opened my mind to how many wonderful resources are out there just by a click of a mouse.
