Chapter 4 Reflection

Chapter 4 was about using digital technology in the classroom. Using digital cameras, scanners, power point, webcams, PDA's and tablet PCs are common in different classroom settings and knowing how to use the effectively is a big deal. This chapter dealt with a lot of different technologies but they were all very interesting to read about. Sometimes you don't realize that everyday things can be used in the classroom and that they can be very helpful to enhancing student learning.

The chapter 4 lab was on excel and while most of the information was a review there were some interesting points. Excel can be a very confusing program but once figured out excel can be a huge asset. Excel is an excellent program to use in a classroom setting. Students can do so many things with it to make assignments easier. That being said I still believe that students should be able to complete concepts the old-fashioned way before being allowed to use chug and plug technologies.
