I think that SMART boards are the newest and most innovative technology. I was able to use one in high school and it is a tremendous way to learn in many different ways. This board is totally worth the cost because of how many different tasks it gets completed. Computers are important to have in each class too. Students should be able to do assignments or have a computer station. Since education is becoming more computerized in terms of assignments and research, students must be able to know how to use them inside the classroom as well as at home. And of course, every classroom must have a printer/copier and the fax machine is just a bonus. It is a necessity for teachers to print out assignements and make copies. It is also important for students to have access to a printer as well. We chose Microsoft Office as one of the softwares to use in class being it is one of the highly used softwares out there. For us as the Teacher we need this software for any projects or work we need to make up. The software is good to introduce to the students since it will be used in their future years. Also the Jump Start is a fun activity based software that the kids can use in class. Kid Pix is a great way for our third grade students to create this own works of art on the computer. Teachers can incorporate this software into their lesson plans to give their students a creative outlet to learn through. Mavis Beacon Teachers Typing Deluxe is the best way to orient students with using a keyboard properly and teaching them to type proficiently. It also includes games in which students learn to type while enjoying themselves as well.
