Classroom Technology Inventory

In visiting with a Kindergarten teacher at Amelia Earhart Elementary I was able to see that there are a lot of resources available for teachers, that I wouldn't have guessed. Amelia Earhart has always been pretty tech-savvy, and now that they have been changed to a Title I school they have received more funding and now have even more technological resources in the classroom. Each of the classes even has a Smart Board!

I talked to her a lot about the additional time that implementing technology requires. She was emphatic that the extra time was well worth it. The kids get so excited and really WANT to learn. Plus it is all things that you can keep in your inventory and use in later years.

I am actually really excited to implement technology into the classroom now. She gave me several examples of things she has actually used in her Kindergarten classroom and now I am able to think of several ways to incorporate technology into my lesson plans.
