Presentations II

It was again another night of interesting presentations.
Green classrooms are a great topic this day in age. Many schools are looking at ways to be more environmentally conscious as well as energy efficient. In a recent conversation with our school media specialist, we discussed the use of a device that would daisy chain computers monitors together using a device that costs about $95. The device would allow another monitor and keyboard to run off of a single computer. It is very efficient. We hope to test it out soon to see if it works effectively without slowing things down.
I particularly liked digital storytelling. It offers different and more creative ways to share their learning. I would like to incorporate into one of my lessons to give it a shot.
Lastly, assistive technology is wonderful because it gives every student access to learning. The only technology that I have seen used to assist students in my school recently was an FM transmitter. However, I have the activsound in my classroom which helps students hear better. In my case, the assistive technology helps every student in my class.
