I am excited about technology in the classroom. I think students would benefit greatly, I also understand that most businesses are technology ready so this would give students the advantage. If I recieved this money I would invest in a couple of computers for my classroom, however the one thing that I would be interested in would be the smart board which would be a wonderful tool for the classroom.
Computers connects children to the real world. I believe children miss out on opportunities because they are not technology ready having computers in the class room will open up unfamiliar territory, particularly inner city youth who most often don't have it in their home.
This would also educate me and how I can connect math and computers. I would also consider getting a television or some type of device that children can shoot videos or show a podcast that would be made and presented by them. I think podcasting would be a new wave of the future in my classroom. I know the kids would love learning this way. I am excited and I will apply for grants that will make this possible.
