January 13 Lecture

The lecture we had on January 13 was entertaining. I realized how fortunate we are to have modern technology in our classroom. We no longer have to rely on "old school" practices. I do on occasion use an overhead projector in my classroom but have not even heard of most of the other technologies discussed and demonstrated by the speakers. New technology can be overwhelming but it is so much quicker and more effective than the old. The creation of the Internet has been monumental in distributing teaching materials to classrooms all over the world. The quantity of information that is now available to educators is impressive.
