how technology is incorporated in the classroom

Technology is wide spread throughout the school systems. In the classroom it can be utilized to help teachers engage students more in an activity. I like using the smartboard because it allows me to make my own and involve the students more. Recently I have taught a lesson on thunder and lightning, in which i composed a smartboard lesson to show pictures of lightning and thunder storms. The student was able to come up to the smartboard and draw pictures of lightning and incorporate sounds of thunder as they drew the picture. Technology in the classroom is essential to all students who are technology savey. Computers are a great resourse for techers and students.
