They were also able to use a camera to take pictures of spiders. They were excited to be able to take pictures. Having technology in this classroom was definitely a benefit because the teacher was prepared and knew how to use the technology herself.

This class used the computer to draw what they would before have been drawing on paper (while doing story extension). The teacher says that when the children use computer they truly develop curiosity and love it. It is a good way to learn technology and include the family in the class. Wonderful for all students (English speaking and ELL).

Using a good, appropriate software for the specific activity the students are engaged in is important. This class had a Mac to use which is pretty fortunate. It is important to take full advantage of the technology available in the classroom.
