"Technology in the Classroom"
By Tabitha

I have three student computers and a teacher computer in my room. My students also go to the computer lab once a week for 45 minutes. I have used technology a lot in my class this year.
I create HOT SHEETS for my students
to do when they get on the computer. It is where I have found websites and I copy them onto a word document and have questions that they must answer buy going to the website. I give my students an extra 5 points on a test or assignment that they didn't score well on. I let them choose which one. You can also find virtual trips on line called WebQuests that your students can do as well.

I use powerpoint and inspiration for reading, language arts, science, and social studies. I create KWL charts, character webs, vocabulary webs, and review games for them to use. I try to incorporate technology in all of my subjects. This year I plan on using it in math class since we have a new series. I also plan on making up some powerpoint presetations to use for the first day of school around my procedures, Class Code of Conduct, Consequences, Rewards, how to label your paper, etc. That way I will also have it ready for open house night as well.
I picked up a book from my teacher store, but I don't remember the name and its in school. You can go on amazon and search for some titles. I hope this helps you out! Good luck! It's not as hard as everyone seems to think to incorporate technology into the classroom.
