Kindergarten Technology Back in early 1990’s,

there was no computer in my classroom

When I was in kindergarten, I remember watching many different shows on TV

QuickTime™ and a decompressor

are needed to see this picture.

High School Technology When I started high

school, I finally own my first computer, an iMac

Owned iMac because my high school is equipped with iMacs only (no PCs in sight)

“i” in iMac stands for Internet

College technology I saw the smartboard for

the first time when I became a student at Gallaudet University

Smartboard is the digital replacement of overhead projector

Use with computer to show to the class

Easier to show PowerPoint presentation

A Vivid TechnologyLearning Experience

iMac helps me find information that I need to find

Internet helps my knowledge to grow

Earth is the picture of my knowledge about world by Internet

A Technology I Want to Use in My Classroom Sorenson videophone

(VP) I want this in my

classroom so I can show the deaf students how VP actually works in videoconferencing

This was a technological breakthrough for Deaf community

My Vision of the Classroom of the Future

An hologram Can easily show the

actual objects from the past in 3-D

Show the objects in 3-D viewing instead of pictures in books

Will be technologically advanced!!

Learning can become more fun

A Challenge for Teaching Some technology are

too complicated for students to use

Some technology can be expensive

Sometimes digital technology isn’t enough

Words of Wisdom

“A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his

influence stops.”Henry Brooks Adams
