Hey ya'll! I am Katie (Teresa is my legal name) Grote and I am a 7th grade Science teacher in South Carolina. I moved down south about three years ago from Ohio where my family lives. I have been teaching down here for three years and my school year is over in thirteen more days! We start early in August and get out late in May. It makes for a quick school year! I have been teaching at my current school for only a year. We had budget cuts in my old school district and I was not waiting around to lose my job so I went searching and found a home at my current school. I could not be more happy with my decision to switch districts. My new school has really brought me up to date with technology with all of the different resources we have. I have a SMART interactive white board in my room with a projector, laptop computer and also three desk computers for student use. I have never been so fortunate to work with all this technology. I am hoping to learn more and more about technology so I can make class interesting and fun for the kids! I teach middle schoolers, so they are of course all up to date on the techno world, so I need to keep up with them!
I wonder how will technology change the regular classroom over the next few years?
Technology is always changing and everything is becoming virtual, so how will the classroom, teachers and students be affected by this?
Are teachers replaceable by computers and viritual classrooms?!
What are your thoughts on this?
I bet you get a lot of use out of your SmartBoard!

ReplyDeleteI think technology has and will continue to make changes in many aspects of society. Virtual classrooms YES! I think we do not even know what the future is capable of and it is always changing.
ReplyDeleteYou are lucky to have a SmartBoard and all that awesome technology at your new school!
That is great that you have a Smart board. I don't have one but have been in meetings where one in used. Technology is only going foward and changing with today's society. I can imagine that with teaching middle school, you do have to keep up with the students. I teach kindergarten and it's fun to hear the students talk about technology, ipods, and other things.
