"Observation" E posting
This semester I observed classes at the preschool, elementary, and high school level. One thing all these age groups have in common is the use of technology. The preschoolers I observed are autistic, and they were using tapes to help them with their speech. They also used a microphone to make the lesson fun. At the elementary school level, computers were used fairly often. Students practiced for the FCAT, took quizzes, and played games. At the high school level technology was used by the teacher. The lecture was on an overhead. A student asked a question the teacher didn't know and he went on to Google to find the answer. I think this shows how common technology is becoming in classrooms. Soon teachers will be becoming knowledgeable in other computer applications which will alsoenhance learning.

Technology is great to know and use especially in the classroom. Yes, it is so convenient to have the Internet in the classroom. I remember many times in high school when a teacher would search the Internet for an answer they didn't know, and it was good to see that they weren't embarrassed that they had to do that.
That also brought back high school memories for me!
