How I use Technology in the Classroom

One of the easiest ways to get students involved and motivated is to have the internet open for them. I try to guide my lessons using different media from Books, paper quizzes and instructions on the board, but I have found that students now prefer the interactive methods of the internet.

I am truly lucky to have over 30 computers in the classroom so it's natural to assume the role of the internet class -with some monitoring courtesy of the School district of course.

I coordinate my lessons and project planning with this website:

www.photoshopskillz.blogspot.com I have found this blogger to be helpful and engaging. You can post writings like this one you're reading and also pictures, videos and links to other websites as well, with no extra cost. Having some kind of website can be really helpful as your try to navigate this educational field. And is free. Go check-out the site, explore the many lessons and supportive material I have entered and if you feel adventurous enough create your own! You can do it!

All you need is an email address and follow simple directions. Your students will thank you for it -or in my case- interact with me! (Isn't that what we want from them anyway?)
