The first class went much like any other class I have taken. we started off with an outline of the course objectives, and reviewed the syllabus. However as we began to discuss the purpose of the course, it became clear to me how much the classroom has changed in the short time i have been away from grade school.
When I was in middle school, the district first began to put computers in the classroom, now schools are attempting to give every student a lap top. As I moved through high school the smart board was still a relatively new technology, and to the best of my knowledge was not implemented in my school. I think that this goes to show is that as technology advances, and the newer students become more proficient in this technology, it is used as a valuable tool for the classroom.
Being on the track to become an art teacher, I hope that through this class I will be able to find and adapt ways to use technology in my art classroom, as a part of the traditional media such as drawing and painting. I have seen some developing technologies that can be adapted to smart boards that could potentially be very useful to the art teacher, and I hope that by the time I become a teacher I will have access to these tools
