Tackling technology

Here we go . . .our journey into technology will begin shortly! It is a very exciting, and somewhat scary, adventure. Sometimes . . . I get a good feeling!

Here is what some of you think about using technology and how it may help you in class . . . we'll see.

research done immediately, in class

easier to research multiple things at a way faster speed

learning how to find and assess good resources on the internet

view any notes or information found in class, at home

apps to make things interesting

we can visualize certain events and watch short clips

more hands on learning

it can help me learn in different ways; visual and interactive learning styles

I can get a definite answer to my questions

it can help me verify anything I am not clear about (although the teacher can as well :))

notes will take less space and be less messy: be faster and more organized

find cool websites or apps

getting different types of media (music, videos, pictures, etc)

it is easier to learn when  you're having fun and technology is more fun than a textbook

playing games makes you want to know the answers

learn things faster

greater depth of understanding

access to more, specific information
