Before coming to class this week I had a pretty good idea of what devices you can use in and out of the classroom. A couple of things I knew about devices were the common ones like iPads, laptops, and computers. For example, I volunteered in a classroom and they were able to use iPads during a certain time in the day. Practicing reading, math, and writing. I never went into detail about each of these devices but I knew a few things about them that I would be able to use with students. While going through this topic there were a few things I was curious about, like what happens if students do not have internet at home, how do you know if the students are using it outside of school, and what if it breaks or gets stolen. Although those questions might not be answered during class they are something I am curious about. Things I learned through my preparation for class was learning other devices you can use for your classroom. Also, the resources that were given gave me information about certain devices that were helpful. There were resources that gave me steps to take for implementing a successful device into the classroom. There were resources for using certain devices that would give tips for being successful.

I believe this website shows you multiple resources and explains why devices in the classroom are good. Things that I learned in class this week was what other devices I can use in the classroom setting, like the chromebook. I learned how much of an impact devices can have on students when learning. Using these devices give the students a different way to practice math, reading, writing, and multiple more subjects. I learned about the advantages and disadvantages about each device that we looked at in class. I learned about what ways a device could be accessed for the classroom and the students. There is a lot of time and money that comes with having these devices in the classroom. The teachers all have to be able to use the device to show the students how to use them. Collaborating with other people is essential when deciding what device to get, why to get it, and will it be useful for the students.
