Chapter 5

I believe that this has been the most important chapter we have read so far. Technology is changing the way children learn in the classroom. There are so many different way to incorporate digital media into the classroom and this chapter really pushed into all of those different techniques. in this chapter you learn how to create and present digital media through educational software applications such as power point, inspiration, and kidspiration. The programs like Reader Rabbit, Math Blasters, and Geo Safari let kids learn inside the classroom what they do not have the means to learn outside of the classroom. The most interesting program I read about was the English Express Deluxe, and the Instant Immersion language programs. These software applications can solve the problem of the language barrier in the classroom. how much easier would i be for a child to learn English if his teacher could provide him or her with a program on the computer everyday in class.

Last week we did the Google searches. I did not find this assignment to be challenging at all. I use Google everyday to help me get through school projects and just for fun fact finding =) YAY Google!!
