Technology I Use in the Classroom

In the past year, I have made an effort to integrate more technology into my daily instruction. In my second grade classroom, I have a projector, Elmo document camera, and three Dell Computers. I enjoy using the Elmo and find students respond positively to it as well. Students love to come up and put their papers on the Elmo and share them with the class. In the past, I had to spend so much time at the copier making transparencies of anything I wanted to show on the overhead projector. I also sometimes project a page from a book on the Elmo. It is great. The projector is also helpful. I can show something on my computer to the entire class, without them having to leave their seats. Students frequently go to the "computer center" to practice their math facts using Mighty Math. They have also used Pixie to create reports in the past. I find many students are motivated by an opportunity to use technology. Learning becomes fun and engaging. I am hoping to integrate more technology products into my classroom during the upcoming school year.
