Chapter 6

Reading through chapter 6 the Classroom in Action section caught my attention. It was about Mr. Balado's fifth-grade classroom and a lesson on a book about a owl and a mouse. I remember when i was in fifth grade, if we had a question that the teacher did not know the answer to or wanted us to find out ourselves we would have to use books. The internet was not used as much as it is now back when i was younger. I think it is so cool how technology has progressed and being able to see it growing up.

I wish i had the advantage of technology like the fifth graders do in the story. I think that with the progress technology deffinetely has a good and positive influence on a classroom and its students. Technology like interactive white boards are a great asset to a teacher and her students. I think it helps to intreage the students and get them more involved.

This is why its great to learn to write grants. YOu can get funds to buy this kind of stuff for your class IF... your school doesn't have it.
