I can say I know more about technology, but still feel I need to learn more about it. Sometimes I learn something, but I don't practice or use it for a while and I tend to forget how to use it. It is weird why this happens.

As a kinder teacher, I learned to not control the use of technology in the classroom. I have learned that even though my students are 5 and 6 year olds, they learn quick, and they have become expert in using the smart board,elmo and computers in the classroom. As a teacher this just makes me proud of them.

This will be my third yr in my campus, and to me I have seen improvement in the use of technology. Even before I join this program, I would I always think that the use of technology is important in the classroom. During my first two yrs of teaching kinder, all I had in my classroom was a overhead projector, because that is all they would give us in the lower grades.We did had 4 students computer in the classroom where the students web 2.o tools to be use, but I still thought the students needed more exposure to technology. Finally this year I finally got a interactive whiteboard and document camera(elmo).I have been exposing my student to this new technology everyday,and they love it. I even use the whiteboard as a center, and the students are becoming experts in using it. According to Kerry Turner "Talented teachers are in essence, modest creatures. My previous blog post entitled, "Rethinking Web 2.0 in the classroom?" included a request for teachers who were using Web 2.0 successfully in the classroom to share their experiences ." Likes She mentions in this article many teachers need to to stop being afraid and start using technology in the classroom in order to be successful and have wonderful experiences.
