5. Kindergarten Technology
 Back in early 1990’s,
there was no
computer in my
classroom
 When I was in
kindergarten, I
remember watching
many different shows
on TV
QuickTime™ and a
decompressor

6. High School Technology
 When I started high
school, I finally own
my first computer, an
iMac
 Owned iMac because
my high school is
equipped with iMacs
only (no PCs in sight)
 “i” in iMac stands for
Internet

7. College technology
 I saw the smartboard for
the first time when I
became a student at
Gallaudet University
 Smartboard is the digital
replacement of overhead

Learning Experience

information that I
need to find

of my knowledge
about world by
Internet

9. A Technology I Want to Use in My
Classroom
 Sorenson videophone
(VP)
 I want this in my
classroom so I can show
the deaf students how VP
actually works in
videoconferencing
 This was a technological
breakthrough for Deaf
community

10. My Vision of the Classroom of the
Future
 An hologram
 Can easily show the
actual objects from the
past in 3-D
 Show the objects in 3-D
viewing instead of
pictures in books
 Will be technologically
advanced!!
 Learning can become
more fun

11. A Challenge for Teaching
 Some technology are
too complicated for
students to use
 Some technology can
be expensive
 Sometimes digital
technology isn’t
enough
