I envision a chalk less room with gleaming white walls, white boards, a SMART Board with all necessary equipment, a class set of computers, with IPods or MP3 players, and a state of the art sound system. Maybe I could include a “Holodeck” from Star Trek!
This sounds extreme and maybe impossible to achieve, but a girl can dream! My school is striving towards incorporating more technology into the classrooms, but I’m not sure if it’s feasible to do this in our current economic situation.
How can I obtain all this technology? Honestly, I’m not sure. Grants may be the answer. Unfortunately finding the money to maintain the technology could be a problem. When my department chair asks for special requests, I will put in for whatever technology the school can afford.
Until then, I’ll continue to use the DLP projector, software, and my 1990’s movie screen to show power points, review for tests, and do interactive activities. I’ll add other activities and presentations as I find time to make them or download them from the Internet!
