Ten years ago, the internet is limited on what it could do and who used it. Most people have heard about it but do not know how it's used. Today, Teachers use internet at home and in school. Teachers even use a wide variety of resources from the internet to prepare for their lesson plans. As a Math Teacher, I enjoy accessing different kinds of materials I can use for my classroom may it be a lesson plan, practice and guided tools to assessment tools. Another way I integrate technology in my classroom is the use of Powerpoint Presentations and projectors. Unfortunately, not all our students have access to computers at home, which makes it difficult for me to engage them in an interactive technology setting. Nevertheless, I am planning to utilize our Computer Center and teach them how to use online sites for learning. Photo Source.
Accessibility is definitely an issue. Some schools in the States use BYOT - Bring Your Own Technology. So some students may be using their personal laptops, some may be using iPads, while others use the classroom's computers. If the schools were able to have more computer labs that were available to the students at different times that would help also. GCC has a lot of computers and a variety of locations for the students to access them.
