It is an ever changing world that we live in and nowhere is that more evident than in the classroom. So to keep up with the times we have to decide how much time should be spent on technology while still trying to get those pesky lessons taught. As teachers we have to ask our selves if we are going to allow technology in our classrooms and if we do to what extent. I love technology and what it allows us to do as teachers.

Students in this day and time are becoming more and more comfortable with technology. Which in turn will only speed up the learning process.

Promethean boards
I love allowing students to work on the Promethean board, it is a great way to see if concepts being taught are understood.

Graphing calculators are used everyday in my classroom. They are great for many reasons but the most important is in helping students see the graph.

Cell phones and Ipads
Cell phones and ipads are a great use of technology. They can be used to greatly enhance the learning environment by allowing students to search the web for the subject being discussed. Best thing about cell phones is that pretty much has one!
