Standard TF-VIII.A.

Utilize school technology facilities and resources to implement classroom instruction. (Discuss and evaluate current research in educational technology)

During the first meeting of the technology learning community, we introduced the wiimote. With the push from the administration, we really didn’t have a choice but to focus on the new technology. I tried to build up the technology to show its true functionality, however, the teachers were extremely skeptical to the idea of having this in the classroom. We discussed for twenty minutes how using this technology would benefit student learning. I focused on how the technology can act as a Smartboard and using the student’s excitement to increase their learning.
