Chapter 4

Chapter four was all about the different kinds of technology available today for educators to use. The chapter talked about input and output devices along with devices such as cameras, scanners, webcams, and graphics tablets.
In my pre calculus class during my senior year at Richmond High School, I had a wonderful teacher by the name of Mary-Jane Hansing. She had recently adapted her class to the use of a graphics tablet and a projector. I really loved this simply because she could get a view of the class while she was teaching so she honestly knew if we were getting the concept or not. She once said she liked it because she didn’t have to block information while she wrote it on the chalk board.
Not only did the graphics tablet help us to learn faster, but it really came in handy whenever we missed a class. When Ms. Hansing taught a lesson and wrote notes/examples on the tablet she would save it. That way all she had to do was print it out and give it to whoever had missed class.
On top of those two things, I found that I really enjoyed that class (I highly doubt it was because I LOVED math). She made it fun and was able to show us multiple ways of doing the same problem side by side.
