1. What technology use and attitudes did I see modeled? I saw my teaching partner use an overhead projector and I saw my cooperating teacher use a stereo and a DVD/VHS player. Other than that I just noticed that both my cooperating teacher and my teaching partner used a microphone again so that students could always hear them during their lessons.
2. What was my own experience trying to use technology in this setting? I used the microphone in all of my lessons so the students could hear me. For a literacy lesson I taught about "opposites" I used a stereo and taught the students "The Opposites Song". Also, I created a power point presentation for a guided reading lesson I taught in order to introduce the students to new words. One last way I used technology is I had the students type in a score of 1 to 3 on my lap-top depending on how they thought they behaved throughout my lesson.
3. Share 1 idea that you have for using technology for a lesson or content area that you observed being taught this week. I saw the students being taught math on worksheets where they counted, measured, added and subtracted m&m's. I think an Elmo or an overhead projector would have enabled the teacher to model how to do the worksheet which would have helped the students get more practice before they had to work independently.
