Technology Inventory Reflection

During my classroom technology inventory I learned a lot about the technology my school has. In my classroom there is only one computer, which is only used by the teacher. There is,,however, a technology stand for the second grade which has a computer, projector, cd player, dvd player, etc. It is a great tool if you want to bring technology into the classroom. For the most part thought technology is not used much in the classroom.

My school has two fully loaded computer labs. There are 30 PC's with several different programs on them. Some programs are Microsoft office, phonics, ELL programs, and type writing programs. Students go to the computer lab once a week, where the school technology specialist teaches them. Teachers can book the computer labs at other times jsut by signing up in the office. The technology specialist is there to help teachers with any technology questions or needs.

My teacher utilizes the technology often. This week we are having the students create books about animals on the computer. She believes that technology is very useful for students learning.
