  Case: How would you incorporate technology in your classroom?
If you are asked this question in a job interview for a teaching position: What are some things you should avoid when responding to this question? What might be some important points to stress that would get the interviewer's attention? How would you respond to this question?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Not at schools have the funding to afford a lot of technology. I would start by saying that I will take an inventory of the school's resources and incorporate as much technology as a possibly could. Depending on the grade that I end up teaching, I know several computer programs that are great for reading fluency and math skills. I believe that every school at least has computers available for the students. In an ideal situation, I would love to have the use of a SMARTBoard. The students are highly motivated by the interactive abilities of this tool, and they love to participate in activities that involve the SMARTBoard. Technology is a tool, not the means of conveying information. Technology should not be the only way that you teach students to read, and you should always have a backup plan in case the technology tools fail.

Comments: I agree with this solution because I think the use of technology is important in classrooms but it should not be the only way lessons are taught. Teachers should use a plethora of teaching techniques to reach all of their students.

Comments: I agree completely with this response and would respond the same way in this situation. I agree that technology is great for enhancing education but should not be the only thing used to teach. Computer programs are always helpful and SMARTBoards are awesome visual aids for teaching and helping students to learn different things. I agree that technology is it a tool though and should be used when needed but not in teaching everything.

Comments: I agree that you should first consider what kind and how much technology that you are able to use for your classroom. I think that the teacher should take advantage of technology in the classroom, for the students ability to be engaged with the lesson. Students tend to get excited with a lesson that doesn't include just a lecture, and more of an involvement. I agree with having a backup plan, just in case technology fails.
