last week in the class

well the students really seem to enjoy every time that technology is used in the classroom, even just my listening to books on cd and playing the vocabulary computer programs, i think that it allows them to come out of their norm a little bit but they can still take a lot from it. my partner used her Google earth presentation on bats all around the world in our class this past week and i'm hoping that we can get everything else together for our down by the bay stuff by the end of the week. Her bats presentation went really well overall, there were some technological issues, but the kids seemed to really respond well to it all. they got really excited when everything was zooming in onto the world etc. it was fun to see their eyes light up because something was being taught in a little different way. It's been a really rewarding experience in the classroom, i've seen how my recording hobby can really play into the classroom and i'm looking forward to being abe to do it again.
