My name is Amy. I am from Bowling Green origionally. I am a junior at BGSU. I work at the library on campus in the Curriculum Resource Center. I coach girl's summer basketball and co-ed track and field for Bowling Green Junior High.
I am expecting to learn a lot more about computers in this course. I am competent when using computers for basic needs, but I do not know how to use some programs that will be very helpful for teaching in the future.
I think technology in the classroom is very useful. In one of my field experience classrooms last semester, the teacher often used laptops with the children. They would research topics together and they could also send eachother messages. One con about using this email in the classroom was that sometimes the children would just start sending things that had nothing to do anything in the classroom. However, the teacher could see what the children were sending, which helped keep them on track.
