Tools to manage the classroom

Watching this blog on the ways in which technology can help manage a classroom i encountered many obstacles.  It discusses the way in which teacher use technology in word processing written work. Although children are using technology students are not being challanged. I hold the belief tat student thinking and knowledge cannot be enhance if teacher’s have not had the same opportunity. What class has a teacher, teaching something they have no clue about. Therefore teachers needed to be educated about aspects of technology. This video discusses not only the way in which a student can use technology but also a teacher, e.g. class list – excel and photo’s using photo shop.  I believe that if a teacher can use technology in the class the education a child receives is resource rich and intriguing. Using word for lesson plans is also a great idea, as a teacher can constantly edit their teaching episodes, record and keep records of results which will ultimetly improve a child’s education. The ability for a teacher to use email allows constant communication between the school and the teacher.
