While watching a video I saw how useful a SMART Board can be in increasing participation and cooperative collaboration/ learning). The particular teacher in the video used a lot of technology in her classroom with a lot of computer use in it. She did things like Blogging, not only for herself but she also had her students have their own blogs. The teacher had a blog that gave assignment dates, and was informing what was happening in the classroom. Another thing that she had her students do was online collaboration with both their classmates and peers in other parts of the world in a variety of different ways such as using their blogs. In short, everything that is being done today was done in the past, the only thing that has changed is HOW we do it, we have moved to a new and more modern medium. What we need to ask ourselves is; does technology allow me to do things I haven’t been able to do before? And can I improve what I’ve done in the past but make them better by using technology?
