The activities shown in the Top Ten video differ greatly from the activities that I engaged in during my K-12 education. For example, until this past Wednesday, I had NEVER seen a Smart Board being used. The technology use when I was in elementary school was very limited.
Yes, my learning style is addressed in these activities. In my Teaching Philosophy, I stated that learning should be fun, but also effecient and effective. The students in the video were having great fun using the technology, and they were learning in the process!
I would love to be able to teach without the use of textbook after textbook when I have my own classroom.
My only concern is a fear that in our rural schools, there will be insufficient funding for all of the neat, new technology.
Legitimate concern! We could probably afford the technology if we didn't buy all those textbooks!
