Advice

It's no surprise that the younger a teacher is, the more likely they are to know about technology in the classroom.  After hearing a current teacher of two years talk to the class about how she uses Smartboard regularly, it made it seem all the easier. She discussed how easy it was to create your own games and activities and also explained that though it is simple, it shouldn't always be used.  She showed the class just how important it is to know about technology.  She gave examples of situations she has been in and how technology, such as the smartboard, has helped her.  It was inspiring to hear a new teacher talk so fondly of not only her technology experiences, but her whole teaching experience as well.
