I was lucky enough this past week to get to visit the technology classroom with my host class. The room was filled with computers and each station had a mini net book laptop. . . not really sure why since the students could use the regular computers.
The students logged onto the computer and went on the internet to access a website where they did little practice math problems. There was a whole long list of differnet skills that students could practice and work on. It was really interesting to see the student using the internet and benefiting from technology. After each problem student would see the correct answer and work on improving next time. After they finished, student were able to play some interactive games on the computer that were appropriate for their grade level.
The students could also do some reading comprehension work and used headphones to listen to the read-a-loud. It was really great to see the students benefiting from using the technology and practicing different subject skills.
Thats great that you got to get an insight to the computer lab!! They are great for the students to use for learning games. Thats crazy that they have laptops as well? What nice access!! =]
