By the second week I was really comfortable in front of the classroom and was ready to enhance my use of technology during my lessons. I was informed that our class had access to the Smartboard and laptop for 2 weeks. This news excited me because there were many things I could do using the Smartboard that would be great activities or reviews for the students. Also, my associate teacher recommended that I incorporate as much use as I can, so I did. I used the Smartboard to review concepts prior to a Unit test. This was very exciting for the kids. Not only was this exciting for the kids to use this technology but I felt more confident that they were more likely to remember the information because it was in a different form than writing in their notes or on the board.
Overall, this second week was mainly using the Smartboard as much as I could. The students did not use the library computers this week. But some who did not finish their Language Center activities at the computer center were allowed to do so. I think there was only one day this week where a couple students finished their work and were able to browse and play games on the computers in the classroom.
