I interviewed a lower grade teacher, Miss DeWitt who teaches at a local elementary school. Miss DeWitt said that her classroom has several technology tools available for her to use and for the students to use. In her classroom there are two computers that the children get to take turns using. There is an overhead projector that she uses on an almost daily basis. There are a set of classroom calculators that the children can use for math assignments. The classroom also has a television with a DVD/VCR player. The teacher also has a digital camera that she uses occasionally.
Miss DeWitt said that there are several technologies that she wishes she had in the classroom. She would like to have more computers so the students could use them more frequently for assignments instead of going to the computer lab. Miss DeWitt also wishes that she could have a visualizer and a Smartboard. She says that would help her in her instruction and she would use it every single day.
Miss DeWitt also said that she uses technology every day when she prepares materials for her class. She also uses some form of technology every single day in class and often times uses several. Miss DeWitt is a big proponent of using technology in the classroom. She believes that all teachers should incorporate technology as often as possible. And she gets ideas on how to incorporate more techonology from the internet and other teachers.
