Technology Activities

Computer
•Computers are accessible for students to utilize during special assignments or when doing their AR testing during the week. Students also do some typing on word document, especially during book fair week, where they had to type out their story. At times I would save some pictures on the internet that is relevant to what we are learning for students to view.

Internet
•Internet is a great source of tool that I have managed to have gathered and collected some wonderful ideas to go about teaching my lessons. It has provided me with a lot of valuable information, especially lesson plans and other downloadable materials and resources.

Teaching Transparency
•I usually use this tool when providing a visual display of what is being emphasized during our lessons, especially during Language Arts block.

Cassette Tape
•We usually use this tool when listening to our Trophies stories. Students follow along by pointing to each word that the story is being read out loud on the cassette tape.

Overhead Projector
•Projectors are used to when viewing a movie that is relevant to stories that we are reading to our students, during read aloud. An example, after reading the chapter book of Charlotte’s Web, we viewed the movie to compare both the book and the movie. Now we are reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, so at the end of that story, we will be viewing the movie to see the difference between the book and the movie.

Digital Camera
•Digital camera is often used to capture students in action with activities done inside or outside of the classroom. My students are just so photogenic, they love taking their pictures.
