I have used technology in my class in a variety of ways, from low tech in the form of an overhead, to PowerPoint presentations. In 7th and 8th grade, our teachers give the students a opportunity to do a lot of research and over the two years I have been teaching, I have noticed the student become much more familiar with the internet and ways to use it to their advantage. In my class I often work with students who are having trouble researching a topic or finding different ways to display the information they have found.
I integrate technology in my classroom with the use of laptops. There's a set of 25 laptops available, and I create lessons for the students on microsoft excel. I present math content through power point presentations which are projected onto a screen by a lcd projector. I would like to set up a school notes account so that students are able to refer to websites and homework assignments online.
I currently use technology in my classroom through internet research assignments, power point, and excel; however, I plan to use technology in the upcoming school year by incorporating internet scavenger hunts, virtual field trips, much more power point, and have created a Schoolnotes account to more effectively communicate with families.
I use a few types of technology in my classroom. I use technology in my classroom when using the computer so my students can take tests for the Accelerated Reader program. I also use an overhead projector in my classroom so all students are able to see the information I am teaching.
My students love using technology in our classroom. Whether it is the computer or an overhead projector they enjoy using technology whenever they can get their hands on it!
Because technology is a major part of my curriculum, I make a point to incorporate it into my daily lessons. Students use the internet for research and I also provide them with their literature book on-line. Powerpoint is a wonderful tool that my students use for presenations and for animated thier stories. Also, I use technology for my teaching practices. Instead of only using the board, I use a LCD projector and powerpoint to provide my students with notes. Overall, technology is a major aspect of my classroom.
I incorporate laptop computers into my classroom as much as possible. With these computers, students complete webquests, reasearch projects, PowerPoint presentations and much, much more. We have a number of laptop carts available within our school so having computers available is never a problem.
My Seniors had to create a powerpoint presentation that included their research on one of the many lens from which Their Eyes Were Watching God may be read from. In order to complete this final assignment, students had to be familiar with powerpoint.
I use technology by using the internet. I take pictures during field trips and any activity in the classroom to do power points. i use technology with math games and phonic.
I integrate technology by having students research assigned topics on the computer lab. They also have to create Power Point presentations with the information required. When reviewing history topics and we have to go into a country, I ask students to visit and travel to that country.
I have used PowerPoint for students to quiz themselves prior to vocabulary tests. I include pictures to associate the vocabulary word with, along with a recorded pronunciation of the word. I use animation so that the definition, part of speech, and word used in context appear when students click their mouse. Each student is given a CD with all of the vocabulary PowerPoints burned on them, so they can quiz themselves in their Resouce room or at home.
I use different websites to enhance my lessons as a center. My favorite website is Starfall.com. It focuses on letters and letter sounds. I also use various adaptive tech devices to assist special ed students.

I have students do a WebQuest on the history of photography. Then groups of students use the information from the WebQuest to create PowerPoints about a particular part of the history of Photography.
I use technology within my Inquiry Based Learning Unit - The Great Outdoorsby colloborating with my school's computer/technology teacher and working together to create lessons that can begin in the classroom and then extend into the computer lab. - Susan Alcock
I have begun to integrate technology through the limited resources of our special education program. I am teaching technological proficiency for Jr. high through High School students usint Microsoft Office tools - Word, Publisher, PowerPoint and Excell programs. The kids are responding positively and enjoying the experiences!
I integrate technology in my classroom by using basic web quests, appropriate for my preschool-aged students. We also read stories that have been scanned onto the school's server. The stories are then shown on the projector in the classroom, which brings them to life for the students. My students play educational games and we also use the computer for music activities.

The stories are then shown on the projector in the classroom, which brings them to life for the students. My students play educational games and we also use the computer for music activities.
When doing music composer research projects, I have the children use an outline created on Kidspiration document. They can click on information that they find on the web and paste in right onto the outline. From there, they can print out the information and write their 5 paragraph essay.
I use different websites that help engage the students in our theme for the week. I also use Intellikeys and other assistive technology devices for some of the children in my class.
There are various ways that I integrate technology in my classroom, anyhting from using PowerPoint, Publisher, Excel, and Inspiration to using a lot of web based research. I really like how technology can keep the students engaged in the lesson.
I use the Ancient Egyptian Webquest that we shared in class. The students also create their own civilization using research from the internet and put it together on Power Point. I also use a Jeopardy Review game that I created on the computer to review for a variety of tests in all subject areas.
I use a wide variety of technology in my classroom, Here are all the ones I can think of- Microsoft word, power point, excell, united streaming, yahoo images, google, webquests, type to learn, brainpop, and many more. - Kristin
I have begun to use WebQuests in my social studies classes. I use inspiration to help create concept maps, schoolnotes.com as their homework page and links, and the internet for our Research Project with science!
I use technology in my classroom in many ways. I use the following blog to post all my syllabi as well as other important information that my students and parents need.
Brad P. said: I use technology each morning by having students work on "studyisland.com" to practice ISAT type questions. I also use PowerPoint presentations to teach a lot of my Humanities lessons. My students create PowerPoint presentations for the Humanities Fair on their selected topics. Also, we do interactive webquests during our novel units as one of the guided reading stations. Currently, the students are researching the nuclear bomb in correlation to our unit with the text "Z for Zachariah."
I have integrated technology in my art classes in a number of ways. Edline is very convienient way to post grades, communicate with parents and students and post curriculum and calenders. Also, my students are directed to websites onthe web to view artists and their work and to complete critiques.
Mary R. said... I use technology in a variety of ways. As an 8th grade social studies teacher, my students are fairly capable of using various types of technology. One way I recently use technology was to have the kids paly an online simulation about WWI. The site kept score for the teams and they really enjoyed exploring. Another way I use technology is by using my LCD projector. I use this almost every day to make conections to my lesson. One of the sources I use is United Streaming. It has so many great short video clips that help teach the topic. They also have lesson plans and other ideas to use. Another way I recently used tech. way by video taping my classes for a student in the hospital. I recorded all my lesson and then burned them into i movies and sent them to his e mail. He was able to follow along and even enjoy the review games.
I use technology in many ways. Inspiration, kidspiration, research, power point, etc. I probably use ask.com once a day to answer student questions as they come up in discussion! It's instant researchification!!
Chris Z. said.....I often use technology in my Health classroom. I often use power points to present information being discussed in class and also to give overviews of the lessons. I also use streaming video sometimes to present information on current topics. Students also spend time in the computer lab researching health topics on the internet.
Nicole M. said... I use the internet to find and create learning centers. I also have my students going to the lab once a week to use starfall and learning.com. In previous years I have used the net to cerate scavenger hunts for my students.
In my classroom, I often use on-line games, tutorials, virtual field trips, and epals (student-to-student emails) in class. Each week I have a mandatory teacher-led tech. time that I utilize. I use our school's laptops almost every week as well.
Kristina F. said... I had my students complete a scavenger hunt on a given topic. Once they completed the scavenger hunt they used kidspiration to create a graphic organizer to eventually write an expository essay. The kids had fun and they learned a lot!
Kathy W. said... I use the graphing calculator with an overhead projector often. You can go to the computer lab, so students have access to do a web quest or use TI interactive or Cabri Jr. My Algebra class uses an internet program called Agile Mind, so we are on the computer almost every day.
I begin my day with taking my attendance thru the computer. I use Starfall with my students. I also often use Excel and Word as well as Printshop for items for my classroom.
I use the ELMO in my classroom every day. It has replaced the overhead. The children can choose to use the computers when their work is completed. They have access to Kid Pix, Kidspiration, and Read, Write and Type. I have also used the web to show short videos of insects.
I use the internet in my art class to have students learn about different Artist. I also use the computer for my morning tutoring. The student like to play educational games, such as building my math skills or english grammer.
I use technology everyday in my classroom. I try to have my students use the computers a few times a week for activities such as scavenger hunts, finding additional information on subjects, or having students play games related to what we are learning. I use the overhead everyday in my lessons. I also use the DVD and the CD player on a regular basis. Technology plays a big rolein my classroom.
In my classroom, I use the overhead quite often. I do have my students play different educational games on the computer/internet especially to practice their multiplication and division facts. I also have the students use the computers to type papers or parts of their group projects. I have also started using power point presentations to introduce and review the classroom rules and procedures. I would like to start using Kidspiration.
I use technology in all subject areas. For example, my students practice their math facts on a website that my school has provided. We also do many writing activities.
I use technology with my first graders quite a lot. I use Kid Pix for all kinds of creative projects and Starfall for reading reinforcement. I love using JigZone on-line puzzles--the kids really like the challenge and...no missing pieces!
United Streaming is a great site for excellent videos and clips for use with any part of the curriculum. I download a video and am ready to show it the next day. My students love them!
I use a blog for online literary discussions. My students love it and often post more than the assigned number. It is easy for me to grade to this paperless form of response.
I use the website mypyramid.com several times throughout the class. I also encourage my students to use various websites to research new recipes and cooking techniques.
I use technology all of the time. I have my students create Power Points, use Inspiration, Timeliner, Word, and search the internet. It is a great tool.
I use technology in various ways. The students create powerpoint presentations for class projects, students use laptop computers with microsoft word to type papers,and I have used unitedstreaming to show video clips for my social studies class. The students in my classroom use the internet to research and to gather information.
I use virtual labs with my units, assign projects which must incorporate information from websites in their bibliography, and use live web cams to preview class assisgnments.
I use technology a LOT in my class - from power points to WebQuests to research to labs. I use Excel a lot to make graphs of class data from labs and have students input the data right then and there. We also use Pasco probes that connect to the computer to do labs such as our EKG lab which measures the students' actual heart rhythms.
I use technology to faciltitate discussions pertaining to current events on a daily basis in my U.S. History class- VideoStreaming to show videoclips to spark an interest
Technology is the key to the future of education. Teachers should make it a point to include as many technological techniques and tools. Students should be trained how to surf the Internet for information from valid sites. Students should also known how to use PowerPoint presentations, blog accounts, Microsoft Publisher, and many more exciting computer software. Students must learn these skills to be marketable in today, as well as the future job market.
I LOVE to integrate technology into my classroom. I use Kidspiration frequently...in writing as a pre-writing activity, in math with sorting and matching, in reading with Venn Diagrams, in social studies to categorize things and in science to draw, label and describe parts of a plant. There are so many ways to integrate technology...there just usually isn't enough time!
My school has purchased laptops (approximately 10 - 12 per classroom). This allows teachers to take students onto the internet at their desk. I have a laptop that is connected to a projector and a SmartBoard, which is used on a daily basis. Lessons are taught using the on-line textbook or PowerPoint presentations in conjunction with the SmartBoard. We do daily announcements to the entire school via a closed circuit television system set up in our building.
I have used technology for the research aspect of our modified debates. We show students how to use valid search engines, how to create a bibliography using noodletools and noodlebib, and how to check their papers for citations. We also use technology for organizers using inspiration. Of course, power points, everyday typing using proper format. Publisher and Word.
Technology in my classroom that I have are eduplace activities through Houghton Mifflin reading series, Accelerated Reader program, Kidspiration, Powerpoint presentations, web quests, virtual tours and web quests, District approved CDs(Zoozillions, Reader Rabbit, Carnival Countdown, Books on CD, drafting final copies of journals, as a few ideas.
I use various internet sites such as United Streaming, funbrain, starfall, mathfactcafe, etc. I also use Word, KidPix, Excel, PowerPoint, etc. I have many games and activities on CD that I use in my guided reading centers as well. So much technology integration... so little time!
I use technology is many ways. Students use Publisher and Word to create projects. I use streaming videos that coordinate with my units. I also have a website for my classroom.
I use technology in various ways in my classroom. I use power points as a way to instruct the students on the current topic/lesson. I also have the students use the internet to research topics and do presentations. I try to get my students involved with technology; however majority of my students are not able to carry this skill out of the classroom because they do not have computers at home or internet service at home.
When I taught Consumer Economics, I used technology on a few different projects. We researched careers using a wbesite called www.careercruising.com and the US Dept. of Labor's website. We also used edmunds.com and Kelley Blue Book's website to research the costs of new and used cars. In addtion to this we used a computer program called metrocity to simulate living on your own. I also used an Internet scavenger hunt to help students learn about consumer protection by going to the BBB, FBI, the Fed, and other govenrment websites.
I integrate technology into the classroom in multiple ways. At times I present historical context information using a Powerpoint presentation. Besides my use of the Powerpoint, students use Powerpoint for final exam presentations. It gives those who prefer technology an opportunity to lead and assist others. Furthermore, at our school we have a device called an ELMO which allows the teacher or student to project an image/picture onto the overhead projector screen or on the televison. In additon to working with Powerpoint and ELMO the general computers are utilized for essays and Webquest fun.
I use technology and cooperative learning in my classroom together. My students create a white water rafting company and have to find all the necessary infomation online. They do this after reading the novel Downriver.
danielle said... We use inspiration, type to learn, and work on computers to complete the publishing stage of our writing process. We search for research for projects.
I integrate technology through the use of a SmartBoard on a daily basis. I use it for presentations and as an interactive tool to engage students. Using the SmartBoard, they can write just as if it is a smartboard, or they can physically move components around in interactive venn diagrams, matching games, and virtual memory games.
I incorporate technology in different lab activities. I have used virtual labs for electricity and magnetism. Students can see their work animated and visualize different types of circuits. They love it!
I use webquests quite a bit in class. I had my students do one to research different community service opportunities they could use for their project. I also have students create digital stories using Photostory.
I use the internet, power point, Boardmaker and Microsoft Publisher to create books for my kindergarten students to read. My students use starfall.com for reading, math and language activities.
As a special education teacher I use a wealth of technology in my classroom and the many classrooms my students visit each day. Whether it is daily work that I create on my computer and project on the Elmo for class participation or work from other classroom that my students are responsible for and can work from our class computer area, computers are a part of our daily regimen throughout the day.
I use my projector and notebook as an interactive tool. Students can write on my notebook with the syllus and we can complete lessons together. We can do Venns and charts, diagrams, etc. using the notebook. We can also use Inspiration together or edit writing on the screen - there are lots of possibilities.
I am creating powerpoint slides with adaptive switches using switch interfaces to allow students to present their reports on their own during their annual review meetings. The powerpoint presentation includes pictures, music and narration by a sibling or peer.
Every other week I take my class to the computer lab. While we are in the lab I have my students work on assignments and visit different websites. I feel that they enjoy this time and helps them to understand the proper way to use a computer.
I integrate technology as much as I can in my classroom. We go to the computer lab once a week where i introduce them to different research sites that they can use and become familiar with. I also bring in a lap top lab every now and then to have them use in the classroom for various research or typing assignments.
I use powerpoints, wequests, and internet in the classroom. The kids love using technology to make their presentations look professional and it helps keeps the audience engaged.
I use it mostly to keep in contact with parents. Since most parents work and cannot call or meet me for a conference, we keep in touch regularly so they can track their child's progress.
Theresa says: I use power points all the time to give notes. My students will make jeopardy games on the computer. I take attendance on the computer. I post assignments and grades on websites.
Sinead said...I had my students create their very own personal comic book using a comic creator that I found on an educational internet site. The students loved the experience of using the laptops in the classroom. It really inspired them to be creative and take a real interest in the assignment.
I use starfall in the classroom with my Kindergarten students. They love using starfall.If you have never tried starfall you should definitely give it a try (www.starfall.com) I also like looking up topics we are studying on the internet with my students.
I use technology in my classroom in many ways. I use it to allow my special education students to practice skills and get feedback they are weak in using various websites, such as;funbrain.com, brainconnection.com, and scholastic.com. I also use it to create crossword puzzles, using puzzlemaker.com.
my students work on computers everyday during free choice time. I also use it everyday to do lesson plans, look for ideas and to do reports for my program.
I use the overhead for several subjects in my first grade classroom. I don't have computers in my classroom, but my students do attend computer class one day a week.
I use the overhead projector for reading and math in my classroom. This gives my students the opportunity to participate in the lesson and they can see it in front of them. I only have one working computer in my classroom. They use it to alphabetize words. We also used it to surf famous African Americans.
Patsy says, that I integrate technology in my classroom by providing weekly activities on the computer and in the computer lab related to the curriculum for the week. I also allow my students to log on independently, in pairs or in small group dependent upon the ability level of the individual student. I also allow my students daily use of the listening center. When my students use the listening center the captain of the group for that particular day controls the center (by making sure everyone headphones are on before he/she starts the CD.) That's what Patsy says.
I allow my students to create imovies, research information, play educational games, write letters on a word document, view powerpoint presentations, and practice various skills with educational CD's.
My daily/weekly use of technology involves an overhead projector, videos, and some classroom computer use. My students are currently engaged in a biographical project on a famous African American. They are allowed to give presentations in a number of ways. Some are going to do mock documentaries and interviews on video. Others are working on power point presentations. A few students have even asked to use short internet downloads of short video clips. I will be interested to see with what they create.
I use technology everyday in my classroom. Some of the ways I use technology are satellite pictures to view the earth when we are studying continents and maps. We also create an online "diary" of the growth in our class garden that parents can read.
I use technology in my classroom daily. Besides using the computer to take attendance, submit lunch counts, and enter online grades, I also use technology to teach my students. During our human body unit, students search the Kidshealth.org site to take quizzes, read articles adn look at interactive ddiagrams. I try to find sites like these to supplement most of my science and social studies curriculum. In the future I plan on integrating more technology in other subject areas.
Laura said... I use technology in the classroom to assess my students in a creative way. I used a PowerPoint template (in which I created)as a culminating activity to see if they understood the novels that they read.
Megan said... I have used technology in my classroom in a few different ways. When I do research projects with my students I set them up on particular websites to find information about the topic. I have also used game and practice websites for my students to improve their skills. Starfall.com is one of my favorites.
Christine said... I use technology in a variety of ways such as PowerPoint presentations, Kidspiration, webcams, and online scavenger hunts. Technology is a great way to engage students and spices up the curriculum!
I love Trackstar (http://trackstar.4teachers.org). It's a great way to give students access to a bunch of websites on a topic in one space. Students can just click on links, instead of having to type in lots of long, confusing URLs.
Erika said... Now that I teach first grade, I have been able to incorporate more technology. Weekly, the students use the school laptops or computer lab to review math skills through our math program. I also have the students use Stationary Studio to write some of their writer's workshop stories. The students also enjoy using the poetry links and read along links through out school's website during silent reading time.
Pedometers are the way to go in gym! Logging their scores into the computer and tracking the steps, converting into miles, is exciting for the students. Then they can "travel" around the map to different destinations.
I use technology in the foods kitchens by showing demonstrations of how to prepare food items. It works as a camera and projects on the screen as I work. I also take each of the classes the the computer lab at least once or twice a semester for projects on the web, such as webquests and essay papers. Through U-Tube, I can show the students demonstrations that are beyond my skill levels as well.
I use technology in the classroom in many ways. When I teach my students the beginning vocabulary for each chapter of study I demonstrate how to find the words, pictures, and translations on various internet websites. When I know that each student is comfortable with the words, we move on. Another way that I integrate technology into the classroom is by doing many powerpoint presentations. I do many creative projects and have the students send me all of their projects by email. I then compile all of the projects together and we view them as a class. Sometimes I even videotape the students doing their presentations and use a webcam to display it to other teachers in the district.
I try to use technology in my classroom everyday. I use PowerSchool to take attendance everyday. I have my students type their own stories during our Writer's Workshop time using Microsoft Word. They are then able to,go online and use sites such as Nettrekker to find images for their stories. Each year we complete a 3rd grade animal report by using microsoft word, numerous websites to look up information and get pictures, and use different drawing programs to make the cover for their report. I use a wonderful site about Colonial Williamsburg during our Pioneer study. It allows my students to see re-enactment videos of jobs/activities during the Pioneer time
First graders love to use the computer at school and at home. Starfall is one of their favorite sites. We often visit reading A to Z. United streaming is another favorite site.
I use technology in many ways in my classrom. First, my class uses laptops on a consistent basis to type documents, create PowerPoints, etc. Next, we use a JeePardy game to review before social studies tests. This game was made through PowerPoint, and I project the game onto the overhead screen from a laptop while the class participates in the game. Another way I use technology is incorporating United Streaming to support lessons I teach in the classroom.
I use technology in many ways. Currently, I am teaching summer school. Students use the computer daily to work on reading and math skills. They are currently using Aerobics and Starfall to improve their reading skills.
Technology is a great resource to use in the classroom. I use the following technology with my students: Internet, Timeliner and PowerPoint. They love using technology!
Janet said... As a technology teacher in a k-8 school, I try to use technology to reinforce what the students are learning in the classroom. Some of our favorite activities include: using Worldbook online to research, creating webs with Kidspiration, making an M&M graph in Excel, and using Dance Mat Typing (online) to learn keyboarding.
I use technology in my classroom everyday. I use basic items like computers and epson projectors. I also use more advanced items like baby simulators and kitchen aid mixers.

Brad P. said: I use technology each morning by having students work on "studyisland.com" to practice ISAT type questions. I also use PowerPoint presentations to teach a lot of my Humanities lessons. My students create PowerPoint presentations for the Humanities Fair on their selected topics. Also, we do interactive webquests during our novel units as one of the guided reading stations. Currently, the students are researching the nuclear bomb in correlation to our unit with the text "Z for Zachariah."
I have integrated technology in my art classes in a number of ways. Edline is very convienient way to post grades, communicate with parents and students and post curriculum and calenders. Also, my students are directed to websites onthe web to view artists and their work and to complete critiques.

I use technology in a variety of ways. As an 8th grade social studies teacher, my students are fairly capable of using various types of technology. One way I recently use technology was to have the kids paly an online simulation about WWI. The site kept score for the teams and they really enjoyed exploring.
Another way I use technology is by using my LCD projector. I use this almost every day to make conections to my lesson. One of the sources I use is United Streaming. It has so many great short video clips that help teach the topic. They also have lesson plans and other ideas to use. Another way I recently used tech. way by video taping my classes for a student in the hospital. I recorded all my lesson and then burned them into i movies and sent them to his e mail. He was able to follow along and even enjoy the review games.
I use technology in many ways. Inspiration, kidspiration, research, power point, etc. I probably use ask.com once a day to answer student questions as they come up in discussion! It's instant researchification!!
Chris Z. said.....I often use technology in my Health classroom. I often use power points to present information being discussed in class and also to give overviews of the lessons. I also use streaming video sometimes to present information on current topics. Students also spend time in the computer lab researching health topics on the internet.
Nicole M. said... I use the internet to find and create learning centers. I also have my students going to the lab once a week to use starfall and learning.com. In previous years I have used the net to cerate scavenger hunts for my students.
In my classroom, I often use on-line games, tutorials, virtual field trips, and epals (student-to-student emails) in class. Each week I have a mandatory teacher-led tech. time that I utilize. I use our school's laptops almost every week as well.
Kristina F. said...
I had my students complete a scavenger hunt on a given topic. Once they completed the scavenger hunt they used kidspiration to create a graphic organizer to eventually write an expository essay. The kids had fun and they learned a lot!

I use the graphing calculator with an overhead projector often. You can go to the computer lab, so students have access to do a web quest or use TI interactive or Cabri Jr. My Algebra class uses an internet program called Agile Mind, so we are on the computer almost every day.
I begin my day with taking my attendance thru the computer. I use Starfall with my students. I also often use Excel and Word as well as Printshop for items for my classroom.
I use the ELMO in my classroom every day. It has replaced the overhead. The children can choose to use the computers when their work is completed. They have access to Kid Pix, Kidspiration, and Read, Write and Type. I have also used the web to show short videos of insects.

I use a great web-site called starfall with my primary students.
I hope to integrate more technology next year!
I use the internet in my art class to have students learn about different Artist. I also use the computer for my morning tutoring. The student like to play educational games, such as building my math skills or english grammer.
I use technology everyday in my classroom. I try to have my students use the computers a few times a week for activities such as scavenger hunts, finding additional information on subjects, or having students play games related to what we are learning. I use the overhead everyday in my lessons. I also use the DVD and the CD player on a regular basis. Technology plays a big rolein my classroom.
In my classroom, I use the overhead quite often. I do have my students play different educational games on the computer/internet especially to practice their multiplication and division facts. I also have the students use the computers to type papers or parts of their group projects. I have also started using power point presentations to introduce and review the classroom rules and procedures. I would like to start using Kidspiration.
I use technology in all subject areas. For example, my students practice their math facts on a website that my school has provided. We also do many writing activities.
I use technology with my first graders quite a lot. I use Kid Pix for all kinds of creative projects and Starfall for reading reinforcement. I love using JigZone on-line puzzles--the kids really like the challenge and...no missing pieces!
United Streaming is a great site for excellent videos and clips for use with any part of the curriculum. I download a video and am ready to show it the next day. My students love them!
I use a blog for online literary discussions. My students love it and often post more than the assigned number. It is easy for me to grade to this paperless form of response.

I use the website mypyramid.com several times throughout the class. I also encourage my students to use various websites to research new recipes and cooking techniques.
I use technology all of the time. I have my students create Power Points, use Inspiration, Timeliner, Word, and search the internet. It is a great tool.
I use technology in various ways. The students create powerpoint presentations for class projects, students use laptop computers with microsoft word to type papers,and I have used unitedstreaming to show video clips for my social studies class. The students in my classroom use the internet to research and to gather information.
I use virtual labs with my units, assign projects which must incorporate information from websites in their bibliography, and use live web cams to preview class assisgnments.
I use technology a LOT in my class - from power points to WebQuests to research to labs. I use Excel a lot to make graphs of class data from labs and have students input the data right then and there. We also use Pasco probes that connect to the computer to do labs such as our EKG lab which measures the students' actual heart rhythms.
We use powerpoint, movie maker and publisher to create presentations and artifacts for class projects.
I use technology to faciltitate discussions pertaining to current events on a daily basis in my U.S. History class-
VideoStreaming to show videoclips to spark an interest
Technology is the key to the future of education. Teachers should make it a point to include as many technological techniques and tools. Students should be trained how to surf the Internet for information from valid sites. Students should also known how to use PowerPoint presentations, blog accounts, Microsoft Publisher, and many more exciting computer software. Students must learn these skills to be marketable in today, as well as the future job market.
I LOVE to integrate technology into my classroom. I use Kidspiration frequently...in writing as a pre-writing activity, in math with sorting and matching, in reading with Venn Diagrams, in social studies to categorize things and in science to draw, label and describe parts of a plant. There are so many ways to integrate technology...there just usually isn't enough time!
My school has purchased laptops (approximately 10 - 12 per classroom). This allows teachers to take students onto the internet at their desk. I have a laptop that is connected to a projector and a SmartBoard, which is used on a daily basis. Lessons are taught using the on-line textbook or PowerPoint presentations in conjunction with the SmartBoard. We do daily announcements to the entire school via a closed circuit television system set up in our building.
I have used technology for the research aspect of our modified debates. We show students how to use valid search engines, how to create a bibliography using noodletools and noodlebib, and how to check their papers for citations. We also use technology for organizers using inspiration. Of course, power points, everyday typing using proper format. Publisher and Word.
Technology in my classroom that I have are eduplace activities through Houghton Mifflin reading series, Accelerated Reader program, Kidspiration, Powerpoint presentations, web quests, virtual tours and web quests, District approved CDs(Zoozillions, Reader Rabbit, Carnival Countdown, Books on CD, drafting final copies of journals, as a few ideas.
I use various internet sites such as United Streaming, funbrain, starfall, mathfactcafe, etc. I also use Word, KidPix, Excel, PowerPoint, etc. I have many games and activities on CD that I use in my guided reading centers as well. So much technology integration... so little time!
I use technology by going to different sites. We have also put powerpoints slide shows together. The kids love it.
I use technology by going to different sites. We have also put powerpoints slide shows together. The kids love it.
I use technology in my classroom. I have the students play games on the internet, go on webquests, and use Kidspriation to make concept webs.
I have the kids create their own power points as a way to instruct the class.
Students use web searches as an alternate way to learn material.
I use technology is many ways. Students use Publisher and Word to create projects. I use streaming videos that coordinate with my units. I also have a website for my classroom.
I use technology in various ways in my classroom. I use power points as a way to instruct the students on the current topic/lesson. I also have the students use the internet to research topics and do presentations. I try to get my students involved with technology; however majority of my students are not able to carry this skill out of the classroom because they do not have computers at home or internet service at home.
I use computers in my classroom on a daily basis.
When I taught Consumer Economics, I used technology on a few different projects. We researched careers using a wbesite called www.careercruising.com and the US Dept. of Labor's website. We also used edmunds.com and Kelley Blue Book's website to research the costs of new and used cars. In addtion to this we used a computer program called metrocity to simulate living on your own. I also used an Internet scavenger hunt to help students learn about consumer protection by going to the BBB, FBI, the Fed, and other govenrment websites.
I integrate technology into the classroom in multiple ways. At times I present historical context information using a Powerpoint presentation. Besides my use of the Powerpoint, students use Powerpoint for final exam presentations. It gives those who prefer technology an opportunity to lead and assist others. Furthermore, at our school we have a device called an ELMO which allows the teacher or student to project an image/picture onto the overhead projector screen or on the televison. In additon to working with Powerpoint and ELMO the general computers are utilized for essays and Webquest fun.
We use word processing very often. Review keyboarding skills. Many interactive math and science sites
I use technology and cooperative learning in my classroom together. My students create a white water rafting company and have to find all the necessary infomation online. They do this after reading the novel Downriver.
I use www.youtube.com to show students what Home Ec was like 50 years ago.
I use SMARTboard on a daily basis, with hyperlinks to the internet to show Geometry sites. The sites help the students visual figures spatially.

We use inspiration, type to learn, and work on computers to complete the publishing stage of our writing process. We search for research for projects.
I integrate technology through the use of a SmartBoard on a daily basis. I use it for presentations and as an interactive tool to engage students. Using the SmartBoard, they can write just as if it is a smartboard, or they can physically move components around in interactive venn diagrams, matching games, and virtual memory games.
I incorporate technology in different lab activities. I have used virtual labs for electricity and magnetism. Students can see their work animated and visualize different types of circuits. They love it!
Linda said......
I use Inspiration, Kurzweil, and Classroom Suites with my students.
I use webquests quite a bit in class. I had my students do one to research different community service opportunities they could use for their project. I also have students create digital stories using Photostory.
I use the internet, power point, Boardmaker and Microsoft Publisher to create books for my kindergarten students to read. My students use starfall.com for reading, math and language activities.
As a special education teacher I use a wealth of technology in my classroom and the many classrooms my students visit each day. Whether it is daily work that I create on my computer and project on the Elmo for class participation or work from other classroom that my students are responsible for and can work from our class computer area, computers are a part of our daily regimen throughout the day.
I use my projector and notebook as an interactive tool. Students can write on my notebook with the syllus and we can complete lessons together. We can do Venns and charts, diagrams, etc. using the notebook. We can also use Inspiration together or edit writing on the screen - there are lots of possibilities.
I am creating powerpoint slides with adaptive switches using switch interfaces to allow students to present their reports on their own during their annual review meetings. The powerpoint presentation includes pictures, music and narration by a sibling or peer.
Every other week I take my class to the computer lab. While we are in the lab I have my students work on assignments and visit different websites. I feel that they enjoy this time and helps them to understand the proper way to use a computer.
I integrate technology as much as I can in my classroom. We go to the computer lab once a week where i introduce them to different research sites that they can use and become familiar with. I also bring in a lap top lab every now and then to have them use in the classroom for various research or typing assignments.
I use powerpoints, wequests, and internet in the classroom. The kids love using technology to make their presentations look professional and it helps keeps the audience engaged.
I have my students do WebQuests to find information about the content!! Rock on!

I use it mostly to keep in contact with parents. Since most parents work and cannot call or meet me for a conference, we keep in touch regularly so they can track their child's progress.
I had my 3rd grade students do research for the first time. It was a struggle, but I think they learned a lot!
I use technology in my classroom by creating activities and guided notes online for my students to use in class.
I also try to incorporate as much technology as possible into the projects they do for class.
Theresa says:
I use power points all the time to give notes. My students will make jeopardy games on the computer. I take attendance on the computer. I post assignments and grades on websites.
I create web games on Quia for my math students to play.
Sinead said...I had my students create their very own personal comic book using a comic creator that I found on an educational internet site. The students loved the experience of using the laptops in the classroom. It really inspired them to be creative and take a real interest in the assignment.
I use starfall in the classroom with my Kindergarten students. They love using starfall.If you have never tried starfall you should definitely give it a try (www.starfall.com) I also like looking up topics we are studying on the internet with my students.
I use technology in my classroom in many ways. I use it to allow my special education students to practice skills and get feedback they are weak in using various websites, such as;funbrain.com, brainconnection.com, and scholastic.com. I also use it to create crossword puzzles, using puzzlemaker.com.
my students work on computers everyday during free choice time. I also use it everyday to do lesson plans, look for ideas and to do reports for my program.
I use the overhead for several subjects in my first grade classroom. I don't have computers in my classroom, but my students do attend computer class one day a week.
I use the overhead projector for reading and math in my classroom. This gives my students the opportunity to participate in the lesson and they can see it in front of them. I only have one working computer in my classroom. They use it to alphabetize words. We also used it to surf famous African Americans.
I use technology with my second graders to make an
I use graphing calculators to look at how to manipulate functions.
Barb says, "I use technology with my second graders to make Excel multiplication charts and bar graphs with M & M's.
Patsy says, that I integrate technology in my classroom by providing weekly activities on the computer and in the computer lab related to the curriculum for the week. I also allow my students to log on independently, in pairs or in small group dependent upon the ability level of the individual student. I also allow my students daily use of the listening center. When my students use the listening center the captain of the group for that particular day controls the center (by making sure everyone headphones are on before he/she starts the CD.) That's what Patsy says.
I allow my students to create imovies, research information, play educational games, write letters on a word document, view powerpoint presentations, and practice various skills with educational CD's.
My daily/weekly use of technology involves an overhead projector, videos, and some classroom computer
use. My students are currently engaged in a biographical project on a famous African American. They
are allowed to give presentations in a number of ways. Some are going to do mock documentaries and interviews on video. Others are working on power point presentations. A few students have even asked to use short internet downloads of short video clips. I will be interested to see with what they create.

I use my computer for jeopardy games and
students really love this.
I create tests on my computer.
I use technology everyday in my classroom. Some of the ways I use technology are satellite pictures to view the earth when we are studying continents and maps. We also create an online "diary" of the growth in our class garden that parents can read.
I use technology in my classroom daily. Besides using the computer to take attendance, submit lunch counts, and enter online grades, I also use technology to teach my students. During our human body unit, students search the Kidshealth.org site to take quizzes, read articles adn look at interactive ddiagrams. I try to find sites like these to supplement most of my science and social studies curriculum. In the future I plan on integrating more technology in other subject areas.

I use technology in the classroom to assess my students in a creative way. I used a PowerPoint template (in which I created)as a culminating activity to see if they understood the novels that they read.
Megan said...
I have used technology in my classroom in a few different ways. When I do research projects with my students I set them up on particular websites to find information about the topic. I have also used game and practice websites for my students to improve their skills. Starfall.com is one of my favorites.
Christine said...
I use technology in a variety of ways such as PowerPoint presentations, Kidspiration, webcams, and online scavenger hunts. Technology is a great way to engage students and spices up the curriculum!
I use technology in many ways in my classroom. I use the overhead daily. I also use the reading link from our textbook to reinforce vocabulary.
kdhamer said...
I do many things to integrate technology including: webquests, interactive websites, united streaming videos, brain pop, and kidspiration.
I use Kidspiration in my class. The children make graphic organizers on themes throughout the year.
I have used pedometers to measure how far they have ran during a class period
I love Trackstar (http://trackstar.4teachers.org). It's a great way to give students access to a bunch of websites on a topic in one space. Students can just click on links, instead of having to type in lots of long, confusing URLs.
Erika said...
Now that I teach first grade, I have been able to incorporate more technology. Weekly, the students use the school laptops or computer lab to review math skills through our math program. I also have the students use Stationary Studio to write some of their writer's workshop stories. The students also enjoy using the poetry links and read along links through out school's website during silent reading time.
Pedometers are the way to go in gym! Logging their scores into the computer and tracking the steps, converting into miles, is exciting for the students. Then they can "travel" around the map to different destinations.
I use technology in the foods kitchens by showing demonstrations of how to prepare food items. It works as a camera and projects on the screen as I work. I also take each of the classes the the computer lab at least once or twice a semester for projects on the web, such as webquests and essay papers. Through U-Tube, I can show the students demonstrations that are beyond my skill levels as well.
Students use technology in the music class/lab to introduce new concepts and reinforce,practice, and/or review old skills or concepts.
I use technology in the classroom in many ways. When I teach my students the beginning vocabulary for each chapter of study I demonstrate how to find the words, pictures, and translations on various internet websites. When I know that each student is comfortable with the words, we move on. Another way that I integrate technology into the classroom is by doing many powerpoint presentations. I do many creative projects and have the students send me all of their projects by email. I then compile all of the projects together and we view them as a class. Sometimes I even videotape the students doing their presentations and use a webcam to display it to other teachers in the district.
I try to use technology in my classroom everyday. I use PowerSchool to take attendance everyday.
I have my students type their own stories during our Writer's Workshop time using Microsoft Word. They are then able to,go online and use sites such as Nettrekker to find images for their stories.
Each year we complete a 3rd grade animal report by using microsoft word, numerous websites to look up information and get pictures, and use different drawing programs to make the cover for their report.
I use a wonderful site about Colonial Williamsburg during our Pioneer study. It allows my students to see re-enactment videos of jobs/activities during the Pioneer time

First graders love to use the computer at school and at home. Starfall is one of their favorite sites. We often visit reading A to Z.
United streaming is another favorite site.
I use technology in many ways in my classrom. First, my class uses laptops on a consistent basis to type documents, create PowerPoints, etc. Next, we use a JeePardy game to review before social studies tests. This game was made through PowerPoint, and I project the game onto the overhead screen from a laptop while the class participates in the game. Another way I use technology is incorporating United Streaming to support lessons I teach in the classroom.

As a technology teacher in a k-8 school, I try to use technology to reinforce what the students are learning in the classroom. Some of our favorite activities include: using Worldbook online to research, creating webs with Kidspiration, making an M&M graph in Excel, and using Dance Mat Typing (online) to learn keyboarding.
I use technology in my classroom everyday. I use basic items like computers and epson projectors. I also use more advanced items like baby simulators and kitchen aid mixers.
