technological resources used
I think this prompt was asking about what technological resources we use in our classrooms. In my classroom I have used the document camera and the Promethean Board. My cooperating teacher does not use technology that much, but I am trying to use some while in her classroom in an attempt to engage students. Also, my cooperating teacher just got an I-pad from the school to use. She has not used it yet though and may not while I am there. We don't have a class set, just one. I know in the science classroom they use clickers with the Promethean Board, I wish we had some in math as a way to get all student involved during questioning.

You would be surprised by how little content student teachers were able to use when writing about this prompt just 2 years ago. The technology standard of the MN SofE Practice was one of the big gaps in their experience, but now, partly because of the technology we have on campus, and mostly because of the technology available in K-12 schools, our teacher candidates have plenty of experience to relate.
ReplyDeleteAfter talking with Zoe on Wednesday, I think your work on the Promethean board will inspire her to use it more. Have you ever used an iPad personally? If so, what math resources do you know about? If you had a class set, what is one way you could have students extend their curriculum work with the use of an iPad? Just curious. We can talk about this on Wednesday when I visit again.
