Technology in My Classroom

To be honest, there was time when I only used a computer to get my college work done, and did not use it much in the classroom. When teaching in Hawaii, there were at least 2 to 4 computers in each classroom, technology was incorporated into different types classwork. The students were able to work on their own researches and projects with computers and software the school provided. As a teacher working there, we were issued a laptop, a video camera, and a multi-media projector that we used in our everyday teaching. I brought that experience home to Guam with me, and use an imaging platform, a video camera, and projector to teach my students. As it is something new to the students, and like all children, they have questions and are awed about the equipment on hand, so I enjoy taking time out to explaining and teaching them the uses and proper handling of the equipment. I found that my students are always very attentive during my lessons. When they finally get the ball rolling, I know the students will be willing, ready, and able to continue learning using technology in this ever changing world.
