My top ten teaching tools that I wish were around when I was in school:
10. The document camera-I remember the "ditto" machine that we used when I first started teaching. The
smell was as memorable as the smeared blue ink.
9. Email- no stamps needed!
8. Videoconferencing- Virtual fieldtrips to an aquarium beats the water treatment plant we visited every year.
7. Classroom sound systems- Background noise is no longer a problem.
6. Student response systems (voting devices)- very engaging!
5. Computers- It is hard to imagine we actually lived without them!
4. High Speed Internet Access- we have come a long way from just using an encyclopedia...
3. iPads- User friendly and highly entertaining!
2. Digital media- so much better than a film strip...
1. Interactive White Boards. My personal preference is a Promethean board, although a large screen TV
with a SMART overlay is not too shabby. Once a teacher has experienced teaching with one of these
boards, they cannot imagine teaching without one.
This is a link to the best school system around!
