Technology Improving Education?

I think that technology has come such a long way. There are so many things that you can use in the classroom. I know that I will use the powerpoint when I am a teacher. I enjoy powerpoints once in awhile, as long as they are not overused. I found that our powerpoint presentation taught me some things that I never knew could be done. I also really enjoy doing movies on the computer. I already use that in my daycare. I am a teacher in the infant room. When the babies leave my room to enter the toddler room, I take all of the pictures that I have taken and I put together a cute movie with music. The parents really enjoy them. I think that it would be fun to make your own educational videos for your classroom. It would be a way to get the children excited because you could use music that the students enjoy. I think that would be a wonderful way to the get students interested and engaged. I am very much looking forward to using these programs in my classroom.
