Techology for Teachers

During class today, half of my students completed their 12-minute oral presentations. They had to research a local business by visiting one. Then, they needed to interview an employee or staff member by asking a short series of questions. After finding the facts, each had to organize their material into major points via PowerPoint or other presentation software.

I continue to do this task with my classes as I am constantly impressed by the amazing job accomplished by many of my groups.

Today, as I was plugging in my netbook and firing up Win 8.1, I thought how teaching technology has changed since I started my career! My students' USB flash drives were efficient and effective, but I do sometimes miss the smell of sharing information via fresh copies from a spirit duplicator. May you rest in peace, dittos.
