First day of MD300

The topic we discussed in class today that most interested me was the fact that we would be going on school visits to see first-hand what technology integrated into education looks like and how it can help students in their learning. I came from a high school where we often took trips to the computer lab for papers, presentations, research, etc., and just as I was leaving they began to incorporate laptops into the classroom. As of now, they are used in the classroom and returned at the end of the period, rather than remaining in the students' possession. I would love to see how laptops provided by the school for the students for an entire year can aid the learning process. I also found it interesting how young the children were that Professor Grignano worked with in the technology field. 3rd graders using the internet, Powerpoint, and other technology to aid their learning is extremely interesting.
