Week 10

There are still no computers in the class yet. I was able this week to see the students use the computers in the computer lab to take a math test. It was easy to tell which students have had a lot of experience using computers. The teacher uses a tape player to play a story as the students follow along with their books. I can see how this is important for the students so that they can know the words, but at the same time it seems kind of boring.

This week I made a little slide show for my guided reading lesson and I brought in my own computer to use. I knew that this was something that the students hadn't experienced before during a guided reading lesson. The students really liked the slide show and it was nice to do something different.

I'm not yet sure how I will use technology next week. I will be doing a read aloud and I am trying to come up with a way to somehow use technology. Whatever I do I am sure that it will be amazing.
