Technology has the power to enhance the learning for students and overall create a better learning for everyone. By showing examples of schools that have already implemented technology in the classroom and the positive results that came with it. As well as the negatives and worries many people have with technology

this technology is helping children’s learning abilities when used responsibly (Sharkins et al., 2016, p. 437). In my observation of a preschool classroom consisting of twenty boys and girls (ages 4-5), the primary manner of teaching included an interactive whiteboard. The teacher chooses one student per day to help her create a calendar on Starfall, starting with the month, then the weekday, and finally the date. The other children appeared to be excited about using the board and cheered the student

“Where is Andy? This is his second day absent”, Mr. James asked Jake at the beginning of class. “Oh Mr. James, Andy said he wants to drop out and start looking for a job because he knows one day he will find a wife who will have to cook and clean the house while he works.

Over the years of my school career, I have found myself stuck seeing many windows, and

Walking up to L.J. Stevens Intermediate School in rural Wilmington, Illinois brings curiosity and excitement to me getting to interview a teacher that I’ve seen through the years but never had more than just a casual exchange of greetings with. As I am buzzed through the door stating my reason for the visit, I sign in, hand over my state issued ID and I am told where the teacher is located…second door on the left. I am buzzed through another set of doors and the new adventure begins. As I

Today I went to Sunrise Elementary to observe Ms. Thune’s first grade classroom. The teacher was extremely friendly and has only been teaching for three years. Right away we headed to recess to pick up the students who were patiently waiting in line. It was a class size of twenty first graders and I quickly realized the teacher was super personable! I was surprised right away because the students did not go to their desks, instead they headed towards the big mat on the floor in front of the promethean

1. Describe the organization and physical setting of the classrooms you observed. Pay particular attention to safety and accessibility, the physical arrangement of the room, the classroom environment and appearance (Danielson 2e): There are seven groups (of tables) in the classroom. Each group has 4 chairs except the group in the middle: that one has six. There is a sufficient amount of space between the whiteboard and desks for the teacher to walk around. The teacher’s desk is located in
