Emerging Technologies in the Classroom

All of these new technologies that are used today in education have really blown me away. Its amazing to see that we no longer just use book, encyclopedias, and periodicles to learn about the life around us. The technology I like the most has to be the smartboard. Its amazing how something so simple is so difficult to use. It has so many cool features. If I could afford one I would have one in my house just because it is so much fun to use. I would really enjoy being able to learn more about it, because I hope that one day when I have my own class that I am lucky enough to have one in my class. I feel it is a great interactive tool for both teacher and student because it gets them both equally involved in the lesson being taught. It can also capture a students attention when the lesson is really brought to life.

I can't believe I saw history made!

I am so honored and privileged to have seen history being made. I am still in awe that I saw with my own eyes the first black president. I was always taught anything is possible and you can be anything you want to. Its amazing! I hope that Obama can bring about the change that is so desperatly needed in our country today. I hope he can turn his plans about the economy, health insurance, finances, education, and all others into the reality that is needed. Hopefully these next four years will be good ones.
