I had a great experience with field. I learned so much about so many different things. It is so wonderful to be able to be in a classroom and actually watch an experienced teacher teach elementary school students. Alyse and I had a great time teaching the students and trying out all of the fun things we have learned this semester.
The students loved it when we used technology in their classroom. We showed them our digital story and they absolutely loved it. They watched it very attentively and asked some great questions afterwards. We gave them a worksheet with a few questions to answer as they were watching it and it worked like a charm. They were listening so well and writing in their answers.
Our cooperating teacher uses a document camera alot and it was so useful to us, as well. He also had a projector in his classroom. He told us that it was the only one for that grade level at the school, but he had it in his classroom almost the entire time we were there. There were a few students who helped him get it setup each time he needed to use it. They loved to help and knew exactly how to use it. They were also very helpful to us as we were trying to figure it out.
During field, it just made me realize even more how I want to use all of the cool technology I have learned about when I have my own classroom. It is such a useful tool for a teacher and I hope to take full advantage of it. All of our lessons in this class and computer technology in education were so helpful to me and I am so glad that I have learned it all. Field was so amazing and I cannot wait to have my own class.
