Blog #11 - Non-Computer Based Technology

The technology that is available is not always related to the computer. There is certain products that all people can use such as a Teletypwriter, text telephone, calculators, speech recognition software, and so much more. All they products are used for all different kinds of disabilities. They can be used in the classroom to help communication and can also help in basic skills such as math and language arts.
Although technology that is not primarily used for the computer is available to the public, there is not a lot of selection. There was not alot of selection on the internet and it took some research to find a few products. Teachers and parents need to look at these products and put them into use in the environments of the children. Most children do not have the best computer skills and having theye non-computer based technology will be beneficial.

Blog #10 - ERIC Research Project

The ERIC Research projects have been interesting and informing about technology that is available. I find it worthwhile to know all the tehnology that can be used in the classroom, not only to benefit you as the teacher, but also to improve the students education. I plan to use everything (if it is available) in my classroom and I wish every school district would have all of this technological equipment. Although some of it can be found online, not everything will be and that can be inconvient. That is really my only concern is that I will not be able to use this technology because the school district does not have it. Other than that concern, I am looking forward to the future and can't wait to graduate so I can become a teacher.

This websites gives many example websites (with links) for many different subjects for elementary, middle, and high school students. It has many different resources and it also has websites the children can use in their free time that are educational. The website is:
