At the sports psychology lab, I was
exposed to numerous technologies that could be useful in the classroom. Many of
the tools are beneficial for athletes, but as well as with students. One that
caught my attention was the isenser. Three years ago, the isenser was this enormous
device that weights around eight pounds. Now, the isenser is small and
compacted, and you can attach it to your phone. The isenser would be beneficial
in the school setting because it allows teachers to view what they missed.
Microsoft PowerPoint has changed
the way we give presentations. A PowerPoint would be very useful if you are
teaching an area of history PowerPoint can be used to target each level of the
Bloom’s Taxonomy. For instance, you may give important facts and dates that the
students should remember and understand through text or images. In addition,
you may have information where the student can apply it to real world situation,
such as the effects of a certain event. Student’s may analyze and evaluate the
event in the context of what would have happened if it never occurred. Finally,
students can create a group assignment or project from the information they
have gathered.
A website that will allow anyone
stay up-to-date with technology trends is Techcrunch. Techcrunch is a website
where new technology is promoted and there are numerous of reviews that goes
along with the device. Click here for the
