PLE Week 12

My mentor teacher did not use a whole lot of technology but she was good with using the things that she had. She could have done more with PowerPoint presentations or videos. It would have been fun for the students to see their own work projected on a slideshow of some sort. But she made great use of her document camera. She used it more than anything and it was very useful in helping the students to see the things she was demonstrating. She also used the internet to find a lot of cool astronomy pictures to show the students. It was fun for them to see those and talk about them. It would have been fun for the students to go to the computer lab every so often to do projects but I can see how that would have been hard for a second grade class. My mentor teacher used the internet to find the daily weather for the students to graph. That was a useful tool. She would also type things on the computer and project them up on the screen. The technology that she used was always very helpful.
