Chapters 5 and 6

Being unfamiliar as I am with technology, I understood chapters 5 & 6. I agree with integrating technology in the schools if the funds are there and if it is beneficial to the students. But in my school environment and with the subject area I teach I find it hard for most of technology to benefit my students. Although I do believe the teachers in my school use technology in their classrooms such as the smart board and talkers to communicate with their students and they adapt everything they can to help educate their students. As I have stated before I try to incorporate technology when needed, for example, wii, DVDs and the Cd player.

In chapter 5, it discuses on using different tools such as grade books. We do not grade our students. We have IEP goals that we set for each individual and as a group we try to get the student to reach that goal. Our school does have a web page that is continuously updated with the activities that are going on that week.

I do believe that the teachers in our school are meeting the needs of each child the best they can.
