Today's instructional tech. presentations were VERY well done. They all presented relevent material, information, resources, uses, etc. that aid in the education of students and educators themselves. The use of laptops in the classroom was interesting. Especially to see the extent of funding into the implamentation of laptops for as many students as possible. Laptops obviously would have a great impact in the classroom. They pointed out things such as individual instruction, the use of online texts, and other areas that may make the academic process more efficient. Laptops, although expensive and hard to come by, would be a very good idea down the road for the vast implamentation of tech. in the classroom.
Smartboards are wicked cool!! The use of these boards appeals towards the student as well as the teacher. This represents yet another technological area that would make learning and participating more efficient. These also illustrate how the use of visually appealing and informative they can be. The use of desktop computers also goes along the lines of the use of laptops only in a different form. In the end, the use of these instructional tech. elements can greatly influence instruction and the educational success of any and all students.

I totally agree that smartboards are "wicked cool". I had never seen one before. Your groups presentation on cyberbullying was excellent. The inclusion of details about the girl who committed suicide really brought the human element of cyberbullying to life. It is easy to say that it doesn't exist, but when you hear about a case like that, it is hard to ignore.
I thought smartboards were really neat too and would be a fun resource to have in the classroom. All the technology we learned about would bring new ways of presenting information in the classroom. Cyberbullying was very informative and interesting to learn about too! It's very sad some of the things that happen because of the internet.
