This week's assignment was to interview three of my students regarding their use of technology. I was surprised to learn that one of my students had a Facebook page, that he used for social networking. All of my students had computers at home, and they all used them to play educational games.
I have to be honest, when I first read this assignment, I was wondering how I was going to get it accomplished and not take away from my instructional time. After I started the interviews, I was so excited to finish them because I was learning about my students. Through their answers on their interviews, I realized how much they enjoyed using the SMARTBoard, so I will make sure I implement more interactive activities in my lessons.
It is important as a teacher, that I know what my students enjoy, and what they have access to at home. My classroom needs to reflect the technology use at home, and I hope to continue to find new and exciting technologies to implement in my classroom. Technology continues to change each and every day, and I want my students to adapt to our ever-changing society.
