In the Classroom

I find it interesting the lack of technology being used in classrooms. It seems to me, that keep your lesson plans on the computer would make your life easier for editing and staying organize. E-mailing parents would save time and paper. Think about all the notes that get sent home for "FYI" purposes, don't you think parents read e-mail daily or even help with the risk of the children using it? I find in my placement that my teacher is so against technology. She has a Smartboard but doesn't know how to use it, she won't check her e-mail and all of her worksheets come from books. Yes, there is nothing wrong with this teaching but it just seems to be that there could be so many easier and faster ways of doing things. This is a change I am going to make in my classroom!
