I decided to do a social studies lesson using an interactive smart board. The lesson was on the Civil War. I tried to incorporate other subjects into the lesson. The only other technology that was included was the internet. Students had to use the internet to find pictures from the Civil War. As, I watched the below videos, the younger children had a hungry or desire for technology. They wanted a fun and engaging learning environment in the classroom. Using technology in the classroom for the older college student’s maybe a distraction. Social Media is the new thing and consuming a lot of individual time. We can improve learning by making learning fun, visual, and engaging. Technology can enhance learning. .As a future educator, I just have to make sure there is need for the technology and the students know how to use it. Therefore, I have to continue to read, go to training, staff development and more to stay equip with the necessary tools to improve students’ learning.
