Author Reflection
I am very excited about the different types of technology utilized in classrooms today. I enjoyed speaking with my sister about specific tools she uses. When I was younger and in school we didn’t have the Internet to use, nor did we have SMARTboards, email, or even whiteboards! We had a big black chalkboard and sometimes an overhead projector. On days when we watched films, they were shown on reel-to-reel projectors. I haven’t been in a classroom yet where the teacher used a SMARTboard. I have many questions about all the different new technology classrooms have today, but I just want to see and try it all out for myself!

The interview taht you did with your sister was fascinating. I am taking instructional techology now and was amazed at all the great resources for teachers! Your sister hit on many of the things that we can use to help students get the most out of a lesson. I am most interested in the Krindle, have seen them in publications and advertised but would love to see it in person. Truthfully I think that those are going to be standard issue in the future to students. The ability to have use these advances in technology will make our students far more advanced than we could have hoped while in school, but you can't beat the chance to curl up in a chair with a good book, the krindle may not be able to replace that feeling!Jnewh001 (talk) 19:23, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

This article was very interesting. Technology is not something that I will be able to escape anytime soon and it is good to know that other teachers are finding vast ways to apply it in their classrooms. I sometimes wonder though if all of the advances will have some downsides. Smartboards, video chatting and virtual field trips seem to make the classroom a much more interactive environment for students who are used to constant feedback.
