What do I think about using visual thinking software in the classroom? What about the SMARTboard? What will they do for students and for me?

Using visual software in the classroom is very important to me. Visual thinking should be a huge thing among early childhood teaching. Younger children learn easier by using pictures and visual examples. The SMARTboard is a huge tool for teachers to use, it makes teaching easier for them and I think they should have knowledge of the tool. The SMARTboard is an amazing tool especially for the early childhood teachers. these tools will help students to learn easier and it's a tool to help teachers explain material much easier.

What I think about using geo tools in the classroom

I think that using Geo Tools in the classroom is a new fun way of learning in math, geography, or basically any class can find a way to use geo toold in their classroom. I plan on using it almost the same way we did in our classroom. I would give them a math problem, and the solution would be the point(s) they need to be at, and I would also hide certain things for them to find. It would be a fun learning experience for the kids and I believe kids learn easier and better when they are having fun. Using Geo Tools in the classroom is a new fun way to allow technology enter your classroom.

How can technology help me improve my teaching practice?

Technology is a big part of today's society. Allowing it to help me teach and putting it in my lesson plans are a big help. It can make things easier and more explanatory. Allowing technology to be put into my teachnig style will allow the children to be educated with a technology background, this also allows them to be more knowledgeable with using technology and letting themselves develop the technological improvements being made over the years.
