Role Play

My group got to do the role play with the flip video cameras. It was pretty sweet to have such a small camera devise that you could use in the classroom that is some what of a reasonable price. It can be cost effective if you got like a classroom set of say 5 or 6 and use grants to earn the money to get the devices. I thought it was pretty sweet idea though however. I would like to utilize this in my classroom and I think that it would be a great motivation for the students. They would love to use these and to record themselves. And there is so many different curriculum ideas that you could integrate them into the classroom and course content. I really want to look into to them to get for my future classroom. That is a technology that I am comfortable with and that I know i can use efficiently and effectively for my students. Technology in the classroom can be extremely effective when it is used properly and when you can get the means to use it. I need to really learn how to write grants so that i can be able to acquire all of these new technologies into the classroom. It would be such benefit and highly effective and i want to be able to use them in any grade level that I will be able to teach.

It was nice to be able to talk through a discussion like that as well because it was good to see different view points to the same subject and try and look and technology from all different view points and angles. It was good to be able to talk through it and really get a good look at what could be going on in your future job when trying to convince others that technology is good and that it needs to be in the classroom. So i think that it was good practice to talk through and practice dialogue.
