Vygotskey - Post 2

One big tool that is used in classrooms today is an iPad. I see a lot of schools not getting classroom sets of iPads or situations where all the students get their own iPad. iPads are wonderful tools to use in the classroom for teachers and students. Teachers can use them for assessments, grade books, research, etc. Students use them for books, activities, research, etc. I feel that iPads are very useful tools in classrooms today. This would be apart of our culture because we are becoming more and more technology advanced as the years go on. People believe that if the technology is available we should utilize it in our classrooms.

Another tool that is used in classrooms are videos on youtube or some other website for video clips. Teachers use videos on the internet to show students different facts about different subjects. For example, if someone is trying to teach the 50 states and their capitals, this teacher can show the youtube video that shows the song that includes this information so the students can begin to learn a new way to remember information. Youtube is another form of using technology in the classroom. In our culture I believe that teachers are trying to push the use of more technoloyg in the classroom because we should utilize what is available to us.
