Cut and Paste No More

In my classroom I use different strategies to get my lessons across to the students.  I only see my students a few moments out of the week and want them to get the most out of what I want them to learn.  Most of my students are visual  learners which makes it an easy task when I want images from the computer to share visuals of what we are learning.  I can remember when we did not have technology in the classroom, we would have to cut and past images, and make our own stencils for the bulletin boards, etc.  I do not take advantage of my computer, but I do appreciate what it has to offer me and I use it when I am teaching.  I do use it for many things.  Our students come from a digital age and they are use to a quick learning style.  I am slow at making sure that the I am continually incorporating the technology in my classroom but I know that is possible and needed.  I want our students to do a podcast with one our departments.  We can share this with the families and they too can continue to enjoy what the students are learning.
