There are many tools used in the classroom today. One of these tools that we use everyday in class is a powerpoint presentation. In our culture, technology is growing everyday and we have to keep our students engaged via this new technology. By using power points we are able to engage students through technology and they are able to see the information for themselves while also listening to the teacher. Another tool commonly used in the classroom is an iPad. the classroom I am currently doing my field experience in has it so that every child has an iPad. In our culture, hands on activities that we are able to see via technology engages students more than anything else. It makes it much easier for them to see what they are doing wrong and they get immediate feedback to help them. In our culture, things are changing everyday and schools are starting to introduce technology at younger ages. There are many different apps on iPads so different students can work on different lessons at once which helps both the teacher and the students.
In my field experience, as well every child has their own personal iPad. I am in a Kindergarten class and even at that young of age the students are so engaged in learning. They think it is fun and entertaining to learn via iPads. It is also interesting to observe how fluently they are able to use the iPads.
