Chapter 6 response

I believe that technology in the classroom has its pros and cons. All things considered I feel that I would prefer to  teach in a classroom with more technologies. This is because they can give students more of a hands-on learning experience and enhance engagement in the classroom. I believe a microphone is a helpful technology in the classroom because it helps the teacher get the lesson across to the students louder. I also believe that scanners and cameras should be integrated into the classroom because these are important devices for students to learn to know how to use outside of the classroom. Handheld computers and Macs are also important because there are many applications teachers can use to engage students in a more efficient way in all subjects. The teacher does need to be wary of the fact that increased technology leads to increased distraction so they should find a way to eliminate this.
