Wow! That's what comes to mind when a read about all the ideas that are being worked on! I really enjoyed reading about all the inventions from 2015! There were some that were just absolutely crazy and I could hardly believe they were real! For example, the connected clothes, being able to press a button on your shoulder pad to translate a conversation! What!? That's just crazy!
In the classroom, I can see that there would be many advantages to having access to technology. I believe one of the most useful tools in the classroom would be the smart board. In wanting to become a math teacher, I have observed my math teachers using smart boards and noticed the advantages. As a teacher there is so much that you can do with it and I also believe that the students enjoy using the technology. I know when I was in high school it was always exciting to get to go up to the smart board and work out a problem. I believe that technology encourages student involvement.
After reading the articles, it seems that the possibilities are endless! I am super excited as we start this class to learn more about all the ways to use different technologies in the classroom! I hope that I learn many things that will be helpful so that I can really engage the students that I teach!
