Technology Reflection

I really liked that we spent some time making sure we knew different ways to use technology in a math classroom. Personally I think that class was the first time I have ever learned so much about the smartboard and all the different things it is capable of; they usually are just used for projections purposes in my other classrooms. I wish more of the professors spent more time teacher us about them. I also really liked the apps and applets presentations; however I would say for next time I think it might be more helpful to have the students present two apps and one applet. We live in such an apple/app run society these days, and apple run schools are becoming more popular. I just think that might be more helpful as the years go on. Also I think that Westlake has an ipad cart. I think that it would be really cool to just spend half a day working with the ipads and some of the apps that people present (the free ones at least). Personally I believe that a technology day would be really helpful and should take the place of one of the other activities that this class has.
