Assignments and Activities for 9/3
1. Exploring games and websites before implementing them in the classroom will provide effective and efficient instruction. Less time will be wasted during classtime introducing the software and students will benefit more with optimized learning time.

2. Many of the peripherals explored today are more efficient than older tools. For example, instead of having an entire cabinet full of large, heavy, bulky microscopes, the digital microscope is easier to use, lighter, more compact, portable, and can be used in a whole group setting. The teacher can ensure that every student is experiencing the same thing and it promotes collaboration as well as saving money.

3. The delicious page taught us that there are many good resources online to be discovered by teachers for assistance in the classroom. Using these resources will help to inspire ideas and creativity in teachers and help them to incorporate technology in the classroom. Teachers have the opportunity to create an assignment that parents and students can work on cooperatively.
