Reading+reflections

Article #1
 * 1) I think Conrad made a good choice when they got the SmartBoards. This is because they can show a powerpoint and opperate it in front of the class rather than sitting at their desk and talking to the students.
 * 2) I believe an obstacle that prevents technology from entering the classroom is the cost. It would cost a lot of money to put the most advanced technology into a school of 500 kids and however many teachers.
 * 3) According to the article, the irrigation of technology will allow students and teachers to connect better than the traditional methods of teaching. It will also allow the students to get more work done and allow them to work a lot faster.

Article #2
 * 1) You could use glog to replace the classroom poster project. It is less time consuming and lets a student use both sides of their brain to create something that is completely unique. That's another good thing about glog. They are all unique to the students imagination.
 * 2) I would ask my teacher to use glog in his/her class by saying that it takes less time than a poster and allows the studnets to be far more creative with their projects. It will also save space because the teacher will not have all of those big bulky posters to grade. But if they are afraid of technology then I would show them some of the glogs that I have made and show the teacher that students can do so much more with glogster. They can embed pictures, videos, and sound which will add to the information on the topic. What I would try to convince the teacher is these tools may seem scary at first but they are easy to use and take much less time to make than the old class poster.
